– For sense and meaning, in
order for this to make sense to
students and have meaning I
would explain the reasoning for
the lesson revolving around
colors. Once they begin
understanding their colors they
will be able to understand why
we are creating these small
projects and assignments.
Pedagogy
S
Concrete Random - The curiosity
of learning about colors and which
objects have colors will fascinate

independent study opportunities
with a teacher.
S
