I think you "could" incorporate the theme "red" into your lesson-plan but it wouldn't necessarily be considered something the child was interested in learning about unless you let them control what activities and what things they wanted to know and learn about red....kwim?

LOL!..Re-reading this makes little sense... I'm sorry....I don't know how to explain it (atleast not at the moment... ) If you go to the site I linked to http://www.reggioalliance.org/faq.php and visit the FAQ section, it really does a good job of explaining what I "think" you are asking about....especially the philosophical questions.

Ahh thanks BC, I do see now. I like the approach, just don't see how that part would work for me ... I'll definitely take ideas from it though
