Color+Lesson+Plan

**Student Understanding(s): What are the primary colors? Secondary colors? What colors mix to create certain colors? Why are new colors created by mixing the colors?** =====

**Instructional Delivery Method**(How will your students get to the video?): The students will have access to the BrainPop website ("C hoosing the right type of software to meet the right goal is an important task for adults, because effects do differ depending on the type of software used" (Fatouros, 1995)) along with the ID and password that I will have prepared for them before the lesson. This allows for easy access as they do not have to make their own IDs. It has been found in research that " children display positive emotions when using computers" (Clements, et al. 2003, p 4). Therefore, incorporating the use of computers into lessons can motivate the students to learn. Once they are all set, I will then instruct them by telling them to search for “color” in the search box. They will easily find the video and be able to work on the lesson. With the use of computers, they will be developing various skills that will be beneficial to their education and future. " Hand-eye coordination seems to be especially important to later academic achievement. Evolutionary biologists and anthropologists posit that the neural pathways of the brain associated with complex language skills co-evolved with the hand" (Wilson,1998, p.9). =====

**Scaffold:** (Will you provide kids a scaffold to help them focus on the important points? If so, what will you use?) The students will be given a diagram with spaces for them to write the names of the colors. They can then branch out the names on their own to write the name of the color that is created by the other colors. On the side, they can have a list of terms that are going to be mentioned on the video so that they can take notes on it. =====

=
**Organization Tool:**(How will your students organize the information they are learning from the video?) The students will be given the opportunity to watch the video once without taking notes. After watching it, the students can try to recall as much as they can and write it down on their papers. They can then re-watch the videos and add on to their notes at the same time. =====

 Once this is complete, students can put everything into a bubblemap online by going to the following website: **[|here].** =====

“A comprehensive look at human development, informed by many scientific disciplines, clearly demonstrates how foolish it is to pressure teachers to focus exclusively on cognitive skills in the classroom. Human development, it turns out, really can’t be reduced to information processing" ( Kane, 1999, p.11). =====

=
**Collaboration Tool**: (How will your students share what they know with each other or you? do you want them to?) The students will be able to share what they have learned about colors by working on their unique pieces of art with different medium (paint preferably). They will start by using the primary colors that are given to them to create all the other colors that they need. The students can then share with the class what they have painted. =====

=
**Product**: (What will the students create with the information learned from the video?) The students will have created their own works of our that demonstrate their knowledge of the colors as they use the primary colors to create other colors. =====

=
 **Assessment**: (How will they know that they learned? How will you know that they learned?) The students will know that they have learned about the colors by looking at their works of art. They will be able to see the colors that they have created and this will also show me that they have gained from the lesson. I would have to be able to see all the primary colors used to create the secondary colors and some additional colors. " Children don’t just process data about the world. They actually experience the world. They are constantly creating new meaning for themselves based on those experiences" (Kane, 1999, p. 11). =====
