I would greatly appreciate any site information, books to look up, lesson plans, ideas, etc. I have proposed a wire sculpture in paper mache with the creatures from the chinese zodiac, that are to be painted and placed in an environment created by the students. They need to be able to set these creatures in a festival environment that will be historically based. I thought that I could have learning centers with information on paper lanterns and kites, but I am at a loss as to where to even start, so once again I am starting with one of my best resources. All of you have been so valuable and although I am often overwhelmed with email messages- this forum is so important to my growth as a teacher. Thank you all for your help.
