Teaching the Lesson
Color In Fashion - Power Point – Lecture
(available on HECT Website)
 Modeling – how will you demonstrate
Use the Color in Fashion Power Point to teach
students the standard color schemes. Have
students take notes either on Power Point handouts
 Instructional Strategies – how will you (color ones are best) or Cornell style. Students will
deliver the lesson?
use these notes to assist them as they create their
portfolio pages for each of the color schemes.
 Check for Understanding – how will
you ensure the skill or competency is
understood by the students?

the skill or competency?
Guided Practice /
Monitoring – an activity directly supervised by
the instructor that allows students to demonstrate
grasp of new learning. Instructor moves around
the room determining the level of mastery and
providing individual remediation as needed.
Students will now complete a portfolio page for each
of the color schemes by finding color pictures in
fashion magazines that are correct examples of
each color scheme.
Once students find pictures they will mount the
picture on black paper. The black paper should be
smaller than an 8x10, the mounted picture will then
be mounted on the 8x10 for a neat professional
presentation. Students will Label the Color Scheme,
and write a paragraph that justifies how the picture
exemplifies the color scheme.
Differentiated
Have students seated in groups
Learning Needs that have varied levels of
achievement so that students with
difficulties are seated with
students with higher level of
understanding, this will allow for
student modeling desired learning
outcomes
Closure – Statements or actions made by the
instructor that help students make sense out of
what has just been taught, to help form a coherent
picture, to eliminate confusion and frustration, and
to reinforce major points to be learned.
Teacher should refer to the Color Scheme Portfolio
Page slides from the power point when explaining
the expected outcomes for student portfolio pages.
Encourage students to complete the portfolio pages
so that they have a professional look.
Students will place completed portfolio pages into
Independent
Practice – a question or problem for students to their Fashion Design Portfolios. They will refer to
ponder on their own or in small groups or pairs.
The aim is to reinforce and extend the learning
beyond the lesson and ideally into real world
settings. This may be a homework assignment.

of the Apparel Design and Construction Course.

Learning Needs
Summarize,
Evaluate & Reflect – after teaching the
lesson, ask students to reflect on their learning.
Instructors can also reflect on the lesson, its
success, and how it can be improved.
As students complete the color schemes pages,
have them reflect on the professional look of each
page, and areas they can improve as they complete
the next page.
