I did lesson 15 (black crayon on white paper) which is out of the value section.  I chose to do this lesson because I feel like it is important to teach children the concept of a value slowly going from dark to light or gradation.  This lesson helps the children learn by actually doing it and I think that “doing” is important when children are learning.  Children can simply look at objects and draw how they see the shadows of the object.  This helps children understand shadows and how to create them on paper.
