a Chinese dragon mask Steps:

  1. Retell the story. The Chinese people often use dance and movement to tell stories. Use big movements or dance, silks or ribbons and an optional mask (did you make one last week in the optional project?). The Chinese people use their masks in performance to indicate change of character or to denote specific parts of the story. Bring in friends or other family members! Add music to the performance, and make your own Ancient Chinese festival!

    Using the audio recording software of your choice, record yourself retelling this story out loud in your own words. After you have completed your recording successfully, send the audio file to your teacher.

  2. Experiential (optional) work: Coin tossing game. This was a game children often played at market; you can substitute stones or anything you wish but don't use balls because they will bounce out of the basket.
    • Lay a basket on the floor.
    • Stand back and try to toss pennies into the basket. Whoever gets the most in the basket, gets to keep them!
