Task 10 — Colour & Light Wonder Map

The whole class co-creates a shared Wonder Map. Add one sticky note — a word, phrase, emoji, or drawing — that captures what mattered most to you in this lesson.

Step 1 — What is a Wonder Map?
🗺️
A Wonder Map captures more than facts
It holds the ideas, questions, feelings, and connections that stayed with you
A Wonder Map is not only a list of facts. It captures the ideas, questions, feelings, and connections that stayed with you after learning. Your one sticky note could be anything:

🌟 Something that surprised you  |  ❓ A question you still have  |  🔗 Something you will notice differently  |  💡 An idea you want to remember
Choose a prompt to get started:
💡
An idea I want to remember…
A question I still have…
🤯
Something that amazed me…
👁
I will now notice differently…
Step 2 — Create your sticky note

What happens in Task 10

The whole class co-creates a shared Wonder Map on a dark-themed canvas. Each student adds one sticky note: text (max 80 chars), an emoji from the palette, and a chosen note colour. Notes appear on the canvas with a pop animation as each is posted. After the student posts their note, the closing animation plays — a 5-second radial sequence showing all three group outputs connected by light beams, fading to black, then revealing the closing text line by line. The class map is exported as a high-resolution PNG saved to the teacher dashboard.

💬 Prompt examples

💡 "Colour is made in the brain, not in the object"
🤯 "Every screen is just millions of tiny RGB light dots"
❓ "Can humans ever see colours we currently can't?"
👁 "Now I notice the RGB dots every time I look at my phone screen"

🎬 Closing animation

After the Wonder Map closes: a 5-second full-screen animation shows all three group output thumbnails arranged in a radial layout, connected by glowing light-beam lines spreading outward. This fades to black, then the conclusion text appears line by line. The teacher controls when this plays for the whole class from their dashboard. Map exported as 2400×2400px PNG after lesson.
