你想让你的学生明白每一个人colours in their own unique way, and they need to be respectful of that. No one gets ‘dibs’ on any section of the page – if you’ve started colouring an area but run out of time, then it’s ok for someone to take over and colour it in the way they choose. This is what makes resources like this unique and a whole-class project!
