This is my revised version of the original PP I did in EDU 652 Week 6. The goal of this lesson is that students understand the color theory and that it reaches the diversity of my 9th grade students.

2. History of Color Wheel
Sir Isaac Newton developed the first circular diagram of colors in 1666
Since then, numerous variations of this concept are studied and designed
Differences of opinion still ongoing
What did you find out?
Short history because students need to find their own facts and share and give feedback to other students. The educator just highlights critical features.

3. Why is the Color Wheel important?
When you:
want to decorate your home
mix your own paint
wear the right clothing combinations
have the right car interior upholstery
want to give your girlfriends the right
complimentary colored flowers that match their eyes.
choose the right colors for shadows
What can you think of using colors?
This portion is to get the students engaged with individual personalization and get the discussion going. Also, to show them more examples of what they could connect their color wheel to the future.

4. Examples: Glue it or paint it OR…. ….your choice!!!
Find your own design.
Educator provides multiple examples such as what students did before, bill boards, Internet sites, etc. for the students to give them some ideas of what kind of end product the educator is looking for. This farther gets them inspired and motivated.

5. Instructions for groups of two:
The requirements for the Color Wheel are:
1. can’t be smaller than 14” diameter
2. Not larger than 36” diameter
3. Use primary and complimentary colors,
have to be exactly across on wheel
4. label your color wheel

6. Prepare to present in class
Do you need to use a specific
pattern? Why or why not?
This lesson is open ended and results will greatly vary in what material/medium they use and there is plenty of time to practice. Educator will stand by to help, and give feedback, but the students’ self-motivation is encouraged trying to find solutions on how to put together their color wheel to become a self-directed learner. Critical thinking is encouraged even if it fails.

6. Colors Mixing: Click me! How do you mix colors?
This part will again involve multimedia and formats with discussions about mixing colors.
