3. Key and Challenging Points
Key Points: Understanding the influence of each colour category (calm, warm, energetic, strong) on moods; knowing what each colour represents.
Challenging Points: Distinguishing between similar - sounding colour effects; accurately applying colour - meaning knowledge to new contexts.
III. Teaching Procedures (Total Duration: 45 Minutes)
Step 1 Lead - in (6 Minutes)
Show a colourful painting or image and ask: “How do these colours make you feel? Do you think colours can change our moods?”
Introduce: “Today, we’ll read an article about ‘The power of colours’—let’s discover how colours influence us!”
Step 2 Pre - reading: Vocabulary Preview (8 Minutes)
Key Vocabulary (5 Minutes)
Present words like influence, represent, calm, energetic, strength with simple definitions and examples:
influence: change how someone feels (e.g., “Music influences my mood.”)
represent: stand for (e.g., “The dove represents peace.”)
Practice pronunciation and quick meanings.
Prediction (3 Minutes)
Look at the article’s headings (Calm colours, Warm colours, Energetic colours, Strong colours) and ask: “What do you think each section will talk about?”
Step 3 While - reading (18 Minutes)
Skimming (6 Minutes)
Students skim the article to find the main idea of each section (calm, warm, energetic, strong colours).
Check answers: “Calm colours like blue and white bring peace; Warm colours like orange and yellow cheer up; Energetic colours like green give energy; Strong colours like red represent power.”
Scanning (12 Minutes)
Task B1 & B2 (8 Minutes)
Students complete B1 (defining words from the article) and B2 (matching colours to their representations) by scanning the text.
Walk around to assist with word - meaning links (e.g., “blue” → “peace”, “yellow” → “wisdom”).
Discussion (4 Minutes)
Share answers and discuss tricky matches (e.g., “green” representing both new life and envy).
Step 4 Post - reading: Application (10 Minutes)
Task B3 & B4 (8 Minutes)
Students use B3 to decide suitable colours for Millie’s friends based on their traits, applying article knowledge (e.g., “Lisa needs power → red”).
Complete B4’s questionnaire about their favourite colour, linking it to personality (e.g., “My favourite colour is green. It represents new life. I like it because it makes me feel energetic.”).
Pair Sharing (2 Minutes)
Students share their questionnaire answers, discussing if their favourite colour matches their personality.
Step 5 Summary & Homework (3 Minutes)
Summary (2 Minutes): Recap each colour category, their influences, and representations.
Homework (1 Minute):
Write a short paragraph about a colour’s influence on your mood (e.g., “Blue makes me feel calm when I’m stressed.”).
IV. Assessment of Teaching Effectiveness
Check B1, B2 for accurate word understanding and colour - representation matching.
Evaluate B3, B4 for correct application of colour knowledge to real - life examples.
Assess homework for personal reflection and accurate use of colour - mood links.
V. Design Purpose
Lead - in: Connect to emotional responses to colours, sparking interest.
Pre - reading: Build vocabulary and prediction skills for better comprehension.
While - reading: Develop skimming/scanning to extract key info about colour influences.
Post - reading: Apply knowledge to friends’ traits and personal preferences, reinforcing learning.
VI. Blackboard Design
Unit 2 Reading — The power of colours
Colour Categories & Meanings:
- Calm: blue (peace), white (purity)
- Warm: orange (joy), yellow (wisdom)
- Energetic: green (new life)
- Strong: red (power)
Homework: Write about a colour’s influence on your mood!
VII. Teaching Reflection
Strengths: Clear sectioning (calm, warm, etc.) helps organize learning; practical tasks (B3, B4) apply knowledge.
Weaknesses: Some students may confuse similar colour effects (e.g., yellow for joy and wisdom).
Improvements: Add a “Colour Mood Board” activity: Cut out magazine images of colours and label their moods, then share.
