The teachers presented colour symbols on the worksheet to help students remember and classify the colours when creating collages. The teachers explained, provided examples of how to stick, gave direction, supported, approached, and directed the students until they were able to complete the project. The teacher went around controlling the children’s progress by asking questions to ensure that the children understood the colours and how to make collages. Once the activity was finished, the teacher asked the children the same questions again. When the children remained silent and did not respond to the question, the teacher asked the questions one by one so that the children could respond to the teacher's questions.]]>
