This engaging and creative task reinforces learning on the use of colour to persuade and can tie in with Engligh language and media studies. It’s a great resource for the study of media texts at KS3, and at GCSE level where students are required to analyse media texts in their English Language exam.
The pack includes an engaging powerpoint which outlines the impact of colour in advertising/ media texts with activities and prompts for a range of student activities. Alongside this, the pack includes a PDF of 30 different Pantone-style colour chip cards with accompanying activity which can be used in a fun plenary. Students are asked to consider what person, place and thing their colour might represent and give their shade a creative shade name. This works brilliantly displayed as a vibrant display for colourful classroom display boards!
I’ve used this activity as a simple Year 8/9 introduction to media texts, and as an expanded activity for GCSE students with a creative writing component, for example: setting descriptions, piece of short fiction or a piece of poetry using their colour as inspiration.
