Use your IWB to make a flipchart to teach the students about dynamics. Unfortunately I can't upload the flipchart here so I have taken some screen shots of what it looks like. Please email me if you would like a copy of the actual flipchart. I used Activstudio 3 to create this flipchart. louisa.guest@hackhame.sa.edu.au


 * [[image:PAGE_2_FLP.jpg width="289" height="177"]] || On this page, the children have to drag and drop the appropriate signs and descriptions into the correct boxes. There is a cheering sound if they get it correct. The signs and descriptions are "thrown out" if they are not correct. ||
 * [[image:PAGE_3_FLP.jpg width="256" height="183"]] || This page is just for listening to excerpts of different classical pieces that have different dynamics. The pieces are excerpts from Land of Hope and Glory, Water Music, Neptune and the March of the Capulets. ||
 * [[image:PAGE_4_FLP.jpg width="290" height="180"]] || The children have another opportunity to listen to the excerpts and this time, they have to drag and drop the little people to the correct line on the dynamics scale. If they are correct, the little person stays there. If they are not correct, the little person returns to their place at the bottom. ||
 * [[image:PAGE_5_FLP.jpg width="282" height="172"]] || On this page, I embedded an excerpt of Swan lake. It opens automatically in GarageBand but you could use another audio program if you do not have GarageBand. Make sure that you can see the sound levels. This gives a really good visual representation of dynamics to the children. I pause the audio just before the really loud part so that they can see how "big" the sound level becomes. ||
