The Emperor and the Kite by Jane Yolen (Multicultural)

There was princess named Djeow Seow who was the youngest and smallest daughter of the Emperor. She was hardly ever noticed or thought of because she was so small and so she spent most of her day playing with her kite. Her brothers and sisters on the other hand were bigger and stronger than her, so they were looked at as rising suns and midnight moons in their father's eyes. One night the emperor was taking captive and no one saw it except Djeow, and she knew where they took him. To save her father she patiently weaved a long, strong rope of her hair and attached it to the end of the kite in hopes of saving her father. After everything Djeow did for her father, he finally recognizes her worth. 

I would read this book for fun. I would have to students to build their own kites out of the materials given to them and once their done, we'll going to go outside and try them out.

To incorporate technology, I would take pictures of each student with their kite as well as them playing outside. I would upload the pictures to Prezi.com and have the students type one or two sentences about their kite under their individual pictures. Once we've finished, we'll have each student present their kite on the power-point to the class using the smart board.
