How can you call �copy and paste � �work �???? This is extremely vexing, shocking, frustrating, unfair, dishonest, ... (I �ll let those who share this view complete the list of adjectives!)
Please, do not upload a material you found elsewhere on the net when you could just give the link in the forum!!!

I agree entirely with Ms Frog. It has been pointed out in the past that just simply uploading a scanned picture and submitting it as a worksheet isn �t really in the spirit of contributing original work. I am surprised at the number of people that just upload a picture for colouring without any instructions or challenge as to what colours should be used. In my opinion a teacher who just gives a picture for children to colour, without any purpose other than to make it colourful is a lazy teacher who lacks imagination. But I do suppose it is an easy way to keep a class quiet for a while!!!
Copying pictures and ideas is perfectly okay, only rearrange and make a new creation from it and present it in an original way |

Oh, does anybody really act the way Logos has described? But what �s the point? I �ve given those to my children to colour at home as a reward in contests and they were ever so happy with it! Why colour them during the lesson? It takes too much time... |

Well, Naranjas - it all depends on what you use them for.
I find coloring pictures very educational for teaching vocabulary and reading comprehension.
Hands on learning is very effective with the younger learners.
I start their vocabulary with colors and build upon that with new words.
A coloring page about Fall (for example) is a fine way to introduce new Fall words such as leaves, trees, season, wind, rain, clothes and Fall activities.
I made 4 pagesof activities based on just one coloring sheet.
Coloring also re-enforces learning and is a good way to check to see if the younger students understand what they have read.

So I don �t think it �s a waste of time - as long as it is used as guided learning.

You did a terrific job with this worksheet! It is obvious that there IS an objective and even several objectives (vocabulary, reading comprehension...)
My post was only about colouring sheets with NO activities at all! I �ll send you the link of one just to give you an example... You can find lots of them FOR FREE on the net when you type "Colouring rabbit / witch / Santa / leprechaun ... whatever � in the Google Image search bar. |

I quite agree with frechfrog because copying a pasting these pictures without activities added is not in the spirit or the rules of the site. In any case, if any teachers wants to use them, they can get some from the Internet if the links are provided. |
