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. 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.
