Kite Connects
Kite project connects subjects such as Art, History, Science, Math, even Dance and Music. My creative pre-service class room teachers use Kite as a vechicle to address important and interesting knowledge. Students strive to make their own kite to reflect upon the key concepts in their lesson plan design. For example: A kite shapes like a heart, meaning, "love to read". It is decorated with pictures of many must-read books for elementary students. Jeff and Alida used oriental design to highlight the historical and cultural aspect of the kite making. Jody and Joel's box kite highlights the uses of kites as spying tool during World War I. Elizabeth and Angela made a giant target kite to show how kites were used as gunnery target pratices in the military. Paul and Kyle made a beautiful red kite using frabric. Stephanie, Jorden, and Leah went all the way made two kites: a traditional diamond shaped kite with a picture of a lovely butterfly and a Tetrahedral kite to discuss the law of flying.
Booklet Project
In this project, my pre-service teachers used accordion style booklet to design an art project for K-8. Their art projects need to connect to at least one other teaching subject. The booklet format provides many possibilities for them. Some of them continued our Chinese theme and practiced their first-ever Chinese writing experience. Some used the booklet to connect to science, writing, and sequence. The results are amazing.

Jeff's Booklet
Jeff created a timeline to talk about American Revolution. This tiny booklet is filled with important historical events during the second half of 18th century. His lesson plan encourages students in middle school level conduct researches and writing for their own booklet. This lesson plan connects art, history, writing and social studies.
