Overview

Skills Analysis

The activity booklet and story introduces the concept of playing a duet with another person by way of a graphic score and footprints of Dino and the children. A graphic score is a picture that can be converted into many different styles of soundscapes. It is a fun, and error free, way to introduce students to the concept of associating different shapes to sounds. Children can make graphic scores about of many things, this can become a tactile activity by using autumn leaves, sea shells or fallen flower petals.
