#TheDress "What colour is the dress?" lesson ideas!

28/2/2015

2 Comments

 
The topic of the "colour of the dress" took social media by storm yesterday!
A picture of a dress went viral online when people couldn't agree on the colour of it (original dress below, what colours do you see?)

I'm sure the topic came up in lessons all over the world! So why not take something that's relevant to the current world (the whole theme of my teaching!), and bring it into your classroom?

Here are a few ideas of how to incorporate this crazy phenomenon into your lessons/homework activities and keep your students engaged!

1) Do a poll of how many students see blue/black and how many see white/gold in class then get students to make graphs or work out percentages out of the results.

2) Ask students to do a research assignment on why people see different colours when looking at the dress.

3) Create their own poll and research by seeing if they can determine any particular trends in which colours people see, such as gender or age etc.

4) Write an article/essay on what they think makes a picture go viral online.

5) Design a funny meme based on the blue/black v white/gold debate! (See examples below):

So there you go, some ideas for having some fun in your lessons with #TheDress!
P.S. What colours do you see? I'm #TeamWhiteAndGold ;)

Haha me too, I really can't see the blue/black at all! Thanks for your kind words, my students were loving these activities last week!
