![]() ![]() Light Summers are often fair, or have particularly light colouring for their ethnicity, across hair, eyes and skintone, and darker colours in clothes or hair dye look artificial and heavy on them. If your outfit feels a little ‘much’ with a stronger colour, try wearing it more tonally - eg Periwinkle is paired with softer denim blues and blue-greys to anchor it.Īlso known as a Pastel or, rather whimsically, a Cotton Wool Ball Summer, the most noticeable characteristic of Light Summers is the lightness of their skin, hair and eye colour, although they still retain Summer’s cool and soft traits. When colour combining, the classic Summer guideline of layering tonal colours (not too much contrast, not too many different colours within one outfit) is usually the best place to start. ![]() ![]() They can be any shade, from rose pinks to denim blues and pinky burgundy, but they share that equal balance of coolness, lightness and softness that you also hold. They are, unsurprisingly, the most definitively Summer colours. You still have your own very best core of colours though. This means that it isn’t often helpful to add a tonal direction to the shopping filter on the Shop by Colour page, as adding in colours from other seasons rarely helps you - simply choose from the full Summer palette and you’ll never go far wrong! The flip side is that you look the best in the widest range of Summer colours, as you really do sit bang in the middle of this palette. For all skin colours, there is generally not a great deal of contrast between hair, skin and eye colour - a black and white photo wouldn’t show extreme contrast here, and there is a softness which is overwhelmed by the strongest shades.īecause you sit right in the middle of the Summer palette - there is no ‘leaning’ towards any of the other three seasons, by being deeper, lighter, warmer or cooler - the best colours for these True Summers really are, very simply, the colours of the Summer palette! Cheating on your palette by shopping from colours in another palette is never going to work as well for you as one of the other types of Summers, who can push into their neighbouring season. True Summers often (although not always) look like the ‘classic’ summer - ashy mid-brown hair, grey or blue eyes, and skin that isn’t in high contrast with either hair or eyes. ![]() This project also lends itself well to identifying the story elements within the writing that the kids will do.Also known as a Sweet Pea Summer, the True Summer (and their palette) has an even balance of Summer’s cool, soft and light characteristics. I’ll post pictures of ours soon, but I know a lot of teachers teach this as one of their first books, so I wanted to offer it up now if it might help others! Wonder is a fantastic book to use to story map the story elements since there is a pretty clear overarching problem and solution as well as several main events. I fell in love with this book, and I absolutely can’t WAIT to have my students read it and complete this yearbook project! I’d love to hear feedback about it and see final pictures. □ You can purchase the Story Elements Reading Response Task Cards HERE !īook Project: Here’s a FREE book project for Wonder by R.J. This is a GREAT time to get huge stacks of picture books and have students start reading and writing about what they are reading! I highly recommend it, and these task cards provide excellent summative assessments, too. Each card focuses on different story elements and asks students to think critically about it and how it relates to their book. Reading Response Task Cards: The last activity we do is the culmination of all of our learning and helps the students apply what they have learned to actual literature! This is my favorite way to encourage thinking about texts, and it requires students to really think critically about story elements, much like the task cards above do, BUT they use their own books! Most years, I make the kids their own individual reading response task cards (You can read more about that HERE) so that they have a set with them all the time, but you can use these cards in a variety of ways. ![]()
