If I could be a colour,I would be...

Here are my student's reactions to the above topic (remember they are in grade 8):

Rikus:

If I could be a colour that I can choose I would only be able to choose 2.The reason why I want to be 2 colours is because I can't make my mind up.The 2 colours that I really would like to be is yellow and white.The reason why I would like to be white is because then I'm least attracted to the sun.Another reason why I would like to be white is because that's the colour God decided would look the best with me and I like to catch a tan.The reason because I would like to be yellow is because when Im sad / down the colour makes me happy and excited for the day again.Oh ya,and if I can be these 2 colours I must be able to choose when I want to be the colour.

Morgana and Kyra:

Why would we be a colour if all colours originated from black and white?It is simply a nerve in your brain reacting to reflections on the eye.Colour is simply an illusion to mankind to distinguish different objects or surroundings.It's a mindset that has been created to suit our lifestyle and to put moods and emotions into categories of colour.So,instead of a colour we would be the reflection of all colours.Real or unreal.

Miguel:

I wanna be silver because I can reflect light and be the Silver Surfer...and yes he is gay but built (very strong).

Steven:

If I could be any colour I would be (bright green) because its cool and I can be seen from far and Im a light reflector isnt that cool?

Daniel:

If I were a colour I would be black because black attracts heat and I would really want to be cold hahahahahahaha genius in the making,take that Steven Hawkins and Einstein hahahahaha I like pie and its hot.

Rory:

If I was a colour I would be transparent , no one can see me but they can hear me,I wouldn't be gauged by the colour of my skin.Mmm...no idea what to write after this.
