Colors and Mood

Students choose one scene from a provided list and write a descriptive paragraph that uses dominant colors to create atmosphere or emotional effect. The task emphasizes how color imagery influences tone and reader perception. Learners think about how hues can symbolize calmness, tension, vibrancy, or coldness depending on the scene. The activity teaches students to use visual details intentionally and reinforces the connection between descriptive choices and mood. It also develops paragraph-writing skills and imaginative use of imagery.
