5.As a group, select a color other than RED. Do a bit of research. Find out the symbolism of the color. Does it stand for one thing in one country and another somewhere else? Why would one choose or avoid your color? This is YOUR color. Find out all you can. Has your color appeared in famous art? Is it part of a country's flag? Is this the "it" color for fall? Spill the beans. Tell all.

You have 15 minutes to conduct research. Then, be ready to share with the class.

Colors come up in stories all the time. See if the symbolism relates to the story in any way.
