Activity-Pak: Composers

Other lap book projects include vocabulary terms, a timeline, and an understanding of the eras as well as purpose behind the compositions.

As an added bonus... Listen to 29 pieces and movements as you record information about each piece and illustrate a picture to go with it! Included in this Activity-Pak are music files for a variety of works, in MP3 format!

Also included is the File Folder Display showing orchestra seating from four different periods. Watch how the orchestra grew and read about various instruments that were added to it!

And finally, a set of 20 Composers Cards match various composers with their information and popular works, making it a fun way to become familiar with the music and the masters. Use the cards for drill or for playing memory games!

Beautifully detailed Masters are provided for all printable projects! The Directions Pages will provide printing and assembly instructions.

Also included are step-by-step illustrated directions for assembling the Lap Book. A Printable Photo Gallery will also aid you in viewing the finished projects!

• ...You must understand.....I am the most uncrafty, unartistic, charter member of the No-Fun-Mom's-Club, type of moms out there. I tried lapbooks when my kids were young, and they were not a hit (well, at least not with me). This year, now that my kids are 13 and can do it themselves, I bought your Artist and Composer Activity-Paks, thinking it might make a nice filler on slow days or during holidays. What a big hit! The best thing for me (besides the learning), is that other than printing everything off, I've not had to do much. Wonderful pick-up-and-go activities that reinforce our history studies! Thanks again for making such great products, - Diane McDaniel
  
  
• I really enjoyed this project because all of my kids got involved in some way. While the study was geared mainly for Matthew, my high schooler and little one helped as well. There are a lot of pieces to cut out, so Janna helped by doing that for us. Jonathan loved to color, so he did the bulk of the coloring (though we do have a green, red, and yellow American flag because I did not catch him in time!). This was great for Matthew, who is my least-inclined-to-lapbook child!...The activities were meaningful. This is not always true of lapbook products. This is not just busy work. I found it to provide high-quality learning challenges for us that helped us... - Vera at Vera Christian Mom University blog, Homeschool Crew Review
