COLORING RULES

These rules will be used when you are assigned a color sheet. The color activities are not playtime, but are an important part of an effective learning method. Coloring will require you to take a close look at the words and how they are spelled. You will read a few sentences, then stop and color something that will be directly related to what you just read.

1. Color each labeled structure the same color as its name (title). The title and structure are linked by identical letter (subscripts). USE ONLY MAP PENCILS OR THIN MARKERS FOR YOUR COLOR SHEETS.

2. When you are given a color plate, look over the entire page and note the arrangement of before you start. In some cases, you may want to color related forms with different shades of the same color; in other cases, contrast is desirable. Always color the structure the same color as its title. COLOR THE TITLE FIRST AND THEN ITS RELATED STRUCTURE.

3. Sometimes you will be asked to use a color twice.

4. Symbols used on the color plates are:

a. Areas to be colored are separated from adjacent areas by heavy outlines. Lighter lines represent background, suggest texture, or define form and (in the absence of "do not color" symbols) should be colored over. Some boundaries between coloring zones may be represented by dotted lines.

b. As a general rule, large areas should be colored with light colors and dark colors should be used for small areas. In some cases, a structure will be identified by two subscripts (e.g., A+D). In this case, you may wish to use crosshatching or stripes of the two colors.

c. Any outline-lettered word followed by a small capitalized letter (subscript) should be colored. In most cases, there will be a related structure to color. If not, the word functions as a heading and is colored black () or gray ( ).

d. You will see some of the following symbols:

= color black; generally reserved for headings

= color gray; generally reserved for headings

= do NOT color

A1, A2, etc. = identical letter with different numbers means that parts labeled are related enough to receive the same color or shades of the same color.

e. The title of a structure to be colored on the color plate is written in italics where it first appears in the text. This will help you to spot quickly in the text the title of a structure to be colored.
