Along the same lines as the idea below:

Put the rhythm or melodic fragments on the board (manually, or using IWB)
then choose one and perform it for the class. Have them choose which
example you performed.


This is a simple dicatation exercise that requires students to read and
interpret the examples, then choose the correct one.

After doing this exercise, you could then have them organize the fragments
into a sequence to make their composition.

I had an IWB at my last school. We did recorder baseball on the IWB. I had
the students do all the moving of their 'characters' and scoring. I also
created 4 beat melodic patterns and inserted them as graphics. We learned
each one individually, then I let them move the patterns together and try to
play their 'compositions.'

I don't have a white board at my new school, but I do try to do the same
things. I just pretend it's an IWB and use my presentation mouse.
