Practice: | Ask students if they need any help with the mixing. Go over the steps of painting onto the paper. |
Accommodations: | Make sure to go over each step throughly so that every one understands. The lesson should take 2-3 days. Could allow 1-2 days extra for some students. Check to make sure of accurate note taking. |
Checking For Understanding: | Have a pre-test of the terms and definitions. |
Closure: | Laminate the Color Wheel and have the students keep for their portfolios. |
