Brushstrokes from West to East is a 43 page document containing Vermont-standards which includes a kite making lesson for K - 2 on pages 16-17, grades 3 - 5 on page 31-32.
Webquests: I am just learning about these - some are great and some are not, like any other type of resource.
- Watching the Colors Come Alive, Ancient China and kite design/building. (6th grade Ancient Civilizations/Geometry)
- Let's Go Fly A Kite (High School Math)
- "Folklore tells of a Chinese general who used a kite to defeat an evil emperor. In what ways do the stories report that he used the kite?" sounds great - but I can't find this webquest anymore.
We like the book Moonlight Kite, although it is not overly "Chinese" IMHO.
