Could you please make this passage simplified? I cannot understand it fully.. Affix several large sheets of coloured paper around the room at student height. I used yello, white, green, blue, red, and black but additional colours may be added. There should be a felts at each of the sheets of paper as well. Have students stand in front of the coloured paper sheets and write down whatever comes to mind when they see that particular colour. Encourage them to explore the emotions that come up as well as memories or associations with objects, etc... Every few minutes call out "SWITCH" and have students rotate to another coloured paper. Repeat this process until everyone has had a turn at each of the stations. Tell students to wonder around the room and read what other students wrote down. As a class examine the common emotions and memories that certain colours evoke. You'll notice that black reflects the more negative feelings of fear and loneliness while yellow usually brings at positive feelings and associations. Red has a tendency to be both negative and positive as it conjures up ideas of death and love. Have students discuss ideas of why the community in the novel is devoid of colours. This activity helps them understand the power of colours and the emotions that they can bring to a person. Some of these emotions are unheard of in "the community". I usually leave the sheets of paper hanging for a few days because my other classes are intrigued with the idea and want to add their ideas too. I then have the students write in their reading journals for the last 10 minutes of the class on the activity and how it relates to the novel. This same type of activity can be used with several selections of music. Students write down their emotions, feelings, and memories based on the selection played. "The community" does not have music either and the connections can be made as in the above activity.

Put some large sheets of colored paper around the room just as high as the students’ height. I used yellow, white, green, blue, red, and black but you could use other colors as well. Include a marker pen for every sheet of paper. Make the students stand in front of the colored-papers and tell them to write whatever they think when they see that color. They can write emotions, personal memories, or anything associated with that color. Every few minutes, you call out “SWITCH” and the students should transfer to another colored-paper. Repeat the process until all students have written in all of the colored-papers. Afterwards, tell the student to go around the room and read what everyone has written on the papers. As a whole class, you analyze the common emotions or memories that are reflected by a color. You will notice that Black usually shows negative feelings of fear and loneliness, while Yellow commonly express bright and positive feelings. Red could be associated with both negative and positive as it could represent either death or love. Have the students discuss why the community mentioned in the novel doesn’t have or doesn’t want colors. This activity helps them understand the power of colors and the emotions they bring to a person. These emotions are not known in “the community”. I often leave the sheets of paper hanging on the walls for some days because my other classes are curious and also want to add their own ideas. For the last 10minutes of the class, I instruct the students to write in their reading journals about the activity and how it relates to the novel. Because “The community” also doesn’t have music, this same activity could also be done with musical selections instead of colors. Student will write their emotions, feeling, and memories based on the music played.
