Using colours to do homework
Listen to the presentation about using colours to organise homework and do the exercises to practise and improve your listening skills.
Instructions
Do the preparation exercise before you listen. Then do the other exercises to check your understanding.
Preparation
Girl: My presentation is about how you can use colour coding to organise your homework.
To start you need a few things from the stationery shop. This photo shows the things I use. They aren't expensive. They are all cheap. I've got coloured pens and pencils, sticky notes, page markers, glue and folders.
First, I choose a different colour for each school subject. The colour I choose has to be easy to remember so I make sure it means something to me. Maths is green because my ruler is green. PE is yellow because my trainers are yellow.
Here is a photo of my folders. I use the cheapest kind and I add a coloured sticky note to the top and to the front. I keep all my notes inside the different folders.
This is a photo of some more sticky notes. I wrote them in the library when I was studying. The blue notes are for history. My history teacher has got a blue car! The black notes are for geography. One day I want to visit the Black Sea.
This photo shows the pages I need to read for homework. I use two coloured page markers to mark where it starts and ends. Those blue ones mark the pages I need to read for history.
Finally, this last photo shows my wall calendar. This green star shows I have a maths test on Friday. This pink circle shows I've got French homework for Monday. It's pink because 'pink' is 'rose' in French … and the rose is my favourite flower.
Has anyone got any questions?
Check your understanding: true or false
Check your understanding: matching, check your vocabulary: gap fill, worksheets and downloads.
Which colours would you choose for each school subject? Why?

Color Psychology: How to Best Use 6 Colors in Learning
This post may contain affiliate links.
Marketing departments spend millions of dollars on color psychology. Why? Because people see color before anything else. But if you’re a teacher, you probably want to know the best way to use color in learning and instruction. I assure you, as a teacher who used color psychology every day, it’s one of the most important tools that teachers can use in the classroom.
Color triggers physical, emotional, and cognitive effects. In consumers. And in students.
So if color affects learning (which it does), keep reading for how to use color to benefit your students memory, performance, and concentration.
Color Psychology: How to Use Color in Learning
Kids will pay better attention and remember information better when color is utilized to present information.
Use color to learn and recall information. Studies of people with Alzheimer’s Disease showed improved memory with color cues. Other color theory studies show that learners recall images better if they are in color, not in black and white.
How does this apply to the classroom?
For example: when creating thinking maps (also called graphic organizers) differentiate and organize topics and sub-topics by color and hue. Then when learners need to remember, they’ll be able to recall the color cues as well as the information.
Let’s look at how colors affect students. It’s essential to consider the psychological effects according to color psychology to you know what colors to use for retention, recall, and attention.
The Color RED
Why do you think stop signs are red? Red screams pay attention to me!! The color RED helps learners remember information, facts, and figures. Red on white is the easiest to read. But a little goes a long way with this color choice so use red sparingly.
Want to get your kids excited to learn? Use RED ink or print on RED paper.
Want to get your kids to remember what they learn? Use RED ink or print on RED paper.
STOP AND READ THIS: Do NOT mark mistakes in red. Using red like this would reinforce the student’s mistake. Don’t do it!
Write key points in red.
Write homework lists in red.
Write things you want the student to learn and remember.
The Color GREEN
The color green is not only a relaxing color, but it’s associated with all things healthy, and it helps concentration.
Want kids to concentrate on what you’re teaching?
Write with a green marker on a white board.
Use a green light bulb in a desk lamp.
Decorate with leafy green plants.
The Color BLUE
According to color psychology, the color blue promotes creativity and peaceful feelings. Educators can use blue for learning situations that are challenging.
Try using blue paper for complex information, or blue ink can improve reading comprehension.
Use blue paper for reviewing information.
Organize your 5-paragraph essay notes and ideas into a blue-flavored flip book.
Use the colors to represent each essay section: intro, body paragraphs, and conclusion.
The Color YELLOW
The color yellow is a stimulating color that asks the learner to pay attention. That’s why so many highlighters are yellow. And school buses! 🙂 If that isn’t a clear use of color psychology in everyday life, I don’t know what is.
Highlight important information in yellow.
Use yellow colored borders on handouts.
The Color ORANGE
Welcoming and mood-lifting, the color orange can help learners feel comfortable, which improves brain function. Some research says that orange tinted glasses improve a person’s mood. Interestingly enough, orange glasses effectively block the blue light from electronics that can interfere with melatonin and sleep.
Maybe we should all wear orange tinted glasses?
Use orange paper for tests.
The Color PURPLE
Purple is the hardest color for the human eye to discriminate. Use purple ONLY with other colors only, not by itself. (But it makes me question the color psychology of marketing with the color purple. Maybe they don’t know this color choice?)
To kids with dyslexia, autism, or visual sensory processing disorders, white paper is too bright, almost glaring. The effect of the color white is almost like sunlight to some children. Try colored overlays or tinted glasses to reduce the impact of the color.
Consider white monotone environments, all white walls. Color psychology says all white walls in a room is not an optimal learning or work environment because white is not a stimulating color.
COLOR BLINDNESS: RED AND GREEN
I’m still learning about color blindness, but it’s my understanding that color blind students have difficulties differentiating between green and red. Apparently, color blindness affects around 10% of boys and .5% of girls. Find out if any of your students are color blind before you integrate red and green into the learning process. (Here’s a link to an online color blind test for kids but the best test is done at the eye doctor’s office.)
Clearly, colors influence learners. Don’t even consider your personal preference for colors. Use colors with purpose, considering the research you’ve learned from this color psychology article. Remember, colors impact emotions, help recall, improve attention, and more. So the next time you’re asking students to take notes or do a worksheet in the classroom, carefully select the best color paper and ink for learning, attention, and recall.

I liked it in my opinion I like working in color as well it is easier to read and better to understand. I don’t like black and white it is boring and when it is in black and white it feels like a bunch of small words and is hard to read. Color is better for you I think teachers should start giving color paper assignments I think more people will finish there work on time cause it would be understandable for them to read and take notes.

Colors Lesson Plan
Teaching colors to beginner language learners will enable them to begin to describe the things around them. With so many colors, however, learning color vocabulary can be challenging. This lesson plan includes many fun and engaging games and activities to help kids/beginner ESL students master vocabulary to do with colors.
The activities in this lesson plan are mainly aimed at young ESL students. These activities can, however, be adapted to teach older beginner learners. You can download all the materials you need for this lesson below. And see the bottom of the page for additional games and activities to teach colors to English language learners.
Materials for this lesson:
Colors lesson plan for beginner esl students, introduction and warm up.
‘ Rainbow Colors Song ‘ by the Singing Walrus. The lyrics of this song associate all the colors with objects that kids are familiar with. For example, green frog, orange carrot, etc. This song is great for introducing the topic of colors and to activate students’ existing knowledge of color vocabulary.
Give each student one color object. This can be a color pen/pencil or use these color student cards . Then, play the song again and ask students to stand up when they hear their color. Once students have practiced one time, make it even more fun by speeding up the video on YouTube.
Practice Key Words And Sentences
Activity 1: ‘i spy’ game – i see something (green)., activity 2: board game – flick the eraser game.
This board game is best played in pairs and is designed to get your students to make a dialogue about colors with their partners. To play, one student should place his/her eraser at the bottom of the page and flick the eraser using their finger. If the eraser lands on a color, they should ask their partner, “What color is it?” and their partner should answer.
Activity 3: Colors Telepathy Game

Lesson Procedure:
Warm up and maintenance:.
See our " Warm Up & Wrap Up " page.
New Learning and Practice:
2. Play "Color Stand Up and Jump" Give out all of the colored papers, 1 color per student. Tell your students to sit down. Say a color (e.g. "red") and the students holding that color have to quickly stand up, jump and then sit down. Start off slowly and get faster and faster.
3. Play "Touch the Colors on Posters" If your classroom has lots of colorful posters on the walls, this is a great activity to do. Demonstrate by shouting out a color (e.g. "Red"). Run to a poster and touch anywhere that has a red color. Do the same for another color (e.g. "Blue"). Each time run to a new poster. Now have the students do the activity – shout out a color and have them all run around the classroom touching the colors on posters.
5. Play "Point at the Colored Circles" Have all of your students sit down. Call out a color and demonstrate by pointing at the colored circle on the wall. Do all of the colors in the order of the song, with the students pointing at the different colored circles.
6. Sing " The Rainbow Song " The first time you play the song, put up the Rainbow Song song poster on the board. Quickly elicit the colors. Play the song and sing along, touching the colors as you sing. You can even invite a student to come up to the board and touch the colors with you. Next, give out all 7 colors (e.g. colored paper, pencils, etc.) to each student. Get each student to lay out the colors in front of him/her, in the order of the song. As you pay the song again, have all students touch each color and sing along.
Verse 1: Red and yellow and pink and green, Purple and orange and blue. I can sing a rainbow, Sing a rainbow, Sing a rainbow too. Verse 2: Red apples and yellow sun, Pink flowers in the green grass. Purple grapes and orange carrots, A rainbow high in the blue sky.
Verse3: Red and yellow and pink and green, Purple and orange and blue. I can sing a rainbow, Sing a rainbow, Sing a rainbow too.
( download MP3 here )
Gestures for "The Rainbow Song"
There are a number of activities you can do as you sing along to the song:
- Simply pat your knees or clap in time with the music as you sing the song.
- Give each student a print out of the Rainbow Song song poster. As they sing along they touch each color or picture.
- Give out the 7 colors to students (colored paper, origami paper, colored blocks, colored pencils – anything will do) and have students touch the colors in time with the song.
- Put colored paper up around the walls of the classroom. Have all of your students point to each color as it is sung.
We also have a video that you can stream in class to sing along with (Internet connection required):
7. Read classroom reader " What Color Am I? " This classroom readers ties in perfectly with the Rainbow Song. Before class, download and print off the reader "What Color Am I?" . As you go through each page, point to the pictures and let your students shout out what color it should be:
Get the students really involved in the story by asking lots of questions (e.g. eliciting the objects and their colors) and getting everyone to point to colors in the classroom.
After reading the story, give out a reader worksheet to each student and read through the story one more time (without stopping for questions, etc.) as students color in the objects from the story. Check to make sure that everyone is using the correct colors.
Alternatively, watch our video version of the reader (Internet connection required):
8. Do " Colors of the Rainbow " worksheet To finish off this section of the lesson, give out the worksheets. As your students are doing the worksheets, ask questions (e.g. "What color is that?", etc.).
1. Assign Homework: " Cup Cake Color! " worksheet. 2. Wrap up the lesson with some ideas from our " Warm Up & Wrap Up " page.

FREE Colours WorksheetsHere are the available worksheets about colours there are 252 to choose from with most being for beginners since talking about colours is pretty basic and straightforward. this worksheet here has been designed to test students’ knowledge of colors. simply print out and cut in half lengthwise for a simple colour related activity. at first, ask students to fill in the words for the colors they already know. even beginners may have acquired some english vocabulary before taking classes so see what students know first. as you introduce and practice colour words, have students fill in the blanks that they skipped the first time through. when completed, they will have a great study guide to help them remember and practice colour words. since colours are an elementary level topic, try not to overwhelm students by introducing too many words at a time. with very young learners, students will often not complete any writing activities in class so it is even more important to go slowly and try to get them to recognize the words as you say them. you could still use the worksheet above with young learners. in this case, simply say a colour word out loud and ask students to point to the colour on their sheets. you can survey the classroom to see how students did and then say “that’s right. this is blue.” while pointing to the correct colored dot or holding up a solid blue flashcard. colours are usually introduced very early on in esl courses so more advanced students will not often have the opportunity to use them unless they are describing something. read more... ...less.

 Listening skills practice: Using colours to do homework -exercises Related Papers Este articulo se centra en las formas en que alumnos de ocho anos abordan la resolucion de sentencias numericas verdaderas y falsas. Los datos que se presentan pertenecen a un experimento de ensenanza en el cual se promovio explicitamente el uso del pensamiento relacional en la resolucion de sentencias numericas. El estudio del modo en que es usado este tipo de pensamiento y de la estructura de la atencion de los alumnos, nos permite distinguir y aportar una descripcion de los diferentes comportamientos de los alumnos. Purya Baghaei , Omid Salavati True-false item format is an objective test form which can be considered as a special type of multiple -choice form. One of the advantages of true-false items is that many can be included in a test and a wide portion of the test content can be covered with them. Furt hermore, unl ike multiple-choice items true-false items are extremely easy to write. One major disadvantage of true -false items which discourages teachers a nd test -developers from using them is that they are hig hly susceptible to guessing. In this p aper a s coring procedur e named dou ble-track true-false items is suggested to reduce the chances of guessing in conventional true -false items and tested for psychometric appropriateness. Dichotomous and p olytomous analyses of a test composed of 40 double -track true-false reading comprehension items show acceptable fit to the Rasch model and a high reliability. Lamgok Silitonga Stephen Neale Pedro Cedillo American Anthropologist Luisa Maffi BEST Journal BEST Journals Light is the source of colour. Colour is the impression received by the mind from certain stimulations of the retina. Colour perception occurs because objects reflect or transmit light, which enters the eye, acts upon the optic nerve, and causes the sensation of light and colour in the brain. Light rays or waves which vary in length and rate of vibration produce different sensations and appear as different colours. There is an optical instrument known as spectroscope which breaks up or decomposes light and reveals the fundamental colours as arranged in the spectrum. At one end of the spectrum there is the violet colour which has the shortest visible waves, at the other end is red, which has the longest visible rays. The other colours are produced by the intermediate waves. Objects are usually able to reflect part of a light beam and absorb other parts. For example, if an object appears green it absorbs all the other colours that make up while light and reflects only green. Henrika M A Florén This study has investigated what mechanisms influence categorisation of colour terms, when only the internal representation of the colour term as a linguistic sign is available as a guide. The aim was to study what happens when only internal references are used for categorising colour terms. The results are based on the data from a questionnaire where twenty informants have categorised, without visual reference, a list consisting of eighty six English colour terms into eleven possible categories of basic colour terms; white, black, red, green, yellow, blue, brown, purple, pink, orange and grey. When the colour term is unknown word structure becomes important, but for some colour terms word structure is not enough and psychological mechanisms are used to determine the colour category of a colour term. The hypothesis is that when the task of categorising colour terms without visual reference is performed, linguistic and psychological mechanisms work in parallel. The outcome of this study contributes a piece of information on how grammatical and psychological mechanisms interact when the complex task of linguistically categorising labels, such as colour, is performed. Keywords: basic colour terms, categorisation, colour terms, colour words, internal references, linguistic mechanisms, linguistic sign.

Advertisement Subscriber-only Newsletter On Tech: A.I.How teachers and students feel about a.i.. As the school year begins, their thinking has evolved. By Natasha Singer  I sat in on a ChatGPT workshop this month for teachers at Walla Walla High School, about 270 miles southeast of Seattle. As a reporter who covers education technology, I have closely followed how generative artificial intelligence has upended education . Now that the first full school year of the A.I. chatbot era is beginning, I wanted to ask administrators and educators how their thinking had evolved since last spring. Walla Walla, a district that serves some 5,500 students, seemed like a timely location to begin the conversation. After blocking student access to ChatGPT in February, Walla Walla administrators told me they unblocked it last month and are now embracing A.I. tools. So I jumped at the chance to learn more about how teachers there are planning to use chatbots with their students this academic year. You can read more in my story today about how school districts across the country are repealing their ChatGPT bans. My colleague Kevin Roose has some great suggestions in his column today on how schools can survive, “and maybe even thrive,” with A.I. tools this fall. Step one, Kevin says: “Assume all students are going to use the technology.” We recently asked educators, professors, and high school and college students to tell us about their experiences using A.I. chatbots for teaching and learning. We got a massive response — more than 350 submissions. Here are some highlights: Teaching with A.I. I love A.I. chatbots! I use them to make variations on quiz questions. I have them check my instructions for clarity. I have them brainstorm activity and assignment ideas. I’ve tried using them to evaluate student essays, but it isn’t great at that. — Katy Pearce, associate professor, University of Washington Before they even use ChatGPT, I help students discern what is worth knowing, figuring out how to look it up, and what information or research is worth “outsourcing” to A.I. I also teach students how to think critically about the data collected from the chatbot — what might be missing, what can be improved and how they can expand the “conversation” to get richer feedback. — Nicole Haddad, Southern Methodist University We are having trouble retrieving the article content.

Rainbow flag meaning: A brief history lesson on how the Pride flag came to be Since its creation in 1978, the pride flag has become a universal symbol for the LGBTQ+ community. It represents visibility and hope and reflects the diversity within the LGBTQ+ community. While the flag is easily recognized, its history may not be as well-known to everyone. Did you know the current rainbow flag is an updated design of the original? Here is a history lesson on how the pride rainbow flag came to be and the meaning behind its colors. What do the colors of the Pride flag mean?Each of the pride flag's six rainbow colors has a unique meaning:
When is Pride Month 2024? How the celebration of LGBTQ+ identities came to be. The history of the Gilbert Baker pride flagIn the 1970s, Harvey Milk – the first openly gay elected official in California – tasked activist Gilbert Baker to design a symbol of hope for the gay community. "Harvey Milk was a friend of mine, an important gay leader in San Francisco in the ’70s, and he carried a really important message about how important it was to be visible," Baker said in an interview with the Museum of Modern Art in 2015 . "A flag really fit that mission, because that’s a way of proclaiming your visibility, or saying, 'This is who I am!'" The original Pride flag had eight stripes , each symbolizing:
Prior to the rainbow flag, the pink triangle was used as a symbol for the LGBTQ+ community, according to Baker. In Nazi Germany, people were forced to wear pink triangles. While the symbol was reclaimed, the community wanted a new symbol. "We needed something beautiful, something from us," Baker said in the MoMA interview . "The rainbow is so perfect because it really fits our diversity in terms of race, gender, ages, all of those things." The original pride flag was flown for the first time at the San Francisco Gay Freedom Day Parade celebration on June 25, 1978 , the History Channel reports. Pride 2024: Latest news and events honoring LGBTQ rights. How did the Pride flag come to be?The original flag was made by hand, but as they started to be mass-produced, the hot pink stripe was removed due to manufacturing difficulties, the New York Times reports . Parade organizers also wanted the rainbow to have an even number of stripes so to split and line the street along parade routes. Baker then removed the turquoise stripe, replacing it for blue , the History Channel reports.
