Sarah is learning about colors in her English class. She is going on a field trip to a botanical garden and her teacher has given her a special assignment. She has to prepare a descriptive list of natural objects at the garden, categorized by their colors. For example, she notes that the leaves of the trees are mostly green, the marigolds are yellow, and the water lilies in the pond are pink and white. As she walks through the garden, she sees a variety of flowers, fruits, and insects, each showcasing a different color.

Imagine that you are in a magical world where everything is made of different shades of the same color. There, you have a special pair of glasses that allow you to see the true color of things. One day, you put on your glasses and see that the sky is not only blue, but it has many other shades of blue hiding in the clouds. The grass is not just green, but it has hints of other greens like emerald and olive. The flowers in the garden are not only red and yellow, but they also have colors like crimson and goldenrod. Now, think about the things around you in your real world, such as your school supplies, toys, and clothes. Write a short paragraph describing what it would be like to see the different shades of the same color in these everyday items. How would understanding these new shades of colors help you in your daily life?
