D) Ask students:
 WHO SAID THE FOLLOWING SENTENCES?

Keith                   Andrew                         Atlee              Chris
 
I  stopped painting and  drawing

I  felt self – conscious about it

I  wish I  could see how  they put the colors together

This is amazing

I’ve never been able  to see this one

Is this what you guys see every day 

I  don’t want to take them off. People take it for granted   

E) Food for thought

  • Have you ever  stopped doing things because of what other people may say?
  • Were you aware of the problems color blind  people endure?  Can you name some of their problems?
  • Can you think of other people who may face other or similar problems? Who? How?
