AP Language and Composition has been reading THE KITE RUNNER. We have had some great character discussions. We have explored the cultures and traditions of Afghanistan--and how they have changed so much since the 1970's. If you have not read the novel as of yet, I really believe all of the students would recommend you to do so. I would!
The photograph of the kite wall relates to our most recent assignment. Every year that students have read this novel for my class, we have made kites. The kites are based off of a novel quote, something the students felt significant to the story itself. From there, we have explanations of the quotes, photographs, and personal connections. Every kite is a little different! If you have a moment, stop in and see the designs and ideas. They, of course, reflect people's creativity and busy schedules, but they also (more importantly) reflect people's emotions and thoughts of the novel itself.
