The Color of My Words
Grade 5
English
20 students
30 minutes
This lesson aligns with the National English Language Arts Standards, particularly in the areas of vocabulary development, expressive language skills, and collaborative discussions.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Colors and Emotions | 5 minutes | Begin with a brief discussion about what colors represent in emotions. Use the Color Emotion Wheel to highlight examples (e.g., blue = sad, yellow = happy). Encourage students to share their own experiences. |
| 2 | Vocabulary Building | 10 minutes | Introduce new vocabulary words that describe emotions and colors. Write them on the chart paper and brainstorm with students how they can use these words in sentences. |
| 3 | Collaborative Activity | 10 minutes | Divide students into small groups. Each group will select a color and create a short descriptive poem using the vocabulary discussed. They will write their poem on chart paper. |
| 4 | Sharing and Reflection | 5 minutes | Groups will display their poems around the classroom. Students will walk around, read the poems, and reflect in their journals about which poem resonated with them and why. |
| 5 | Homework Assignment | 0 minutes | Assign students to write a short paragraph describing an experience related to a color and the emotions it evokes, to be submitted the next class. |
Students will write a short paragraph describing an experience related to a specific color and the emotions it evokes. This homework will be collected at the next class, without requiring any student to present it in front of the class.
