After testing our levee engineering skillz (that's right. With a z), we moved on to studying the history of the Chinese language, written characters the Shang Dynasty and BEST OF ALL-- ORACLE BONES.
As usual, kids had to either pass a quiz or turn in a heaping load of homework and if they did....a cool project designed to blow their minds ensued.
How to make Oracle Bones to display in your very own homes? See below!
Materials:
Balloons
Glue
Newspaper
White Paint
Several pages with Chinese Characters
Paintbrushes
Black/Colored Paint
Glasses/cups full of water
Next:
1.Blow up a balloon and put your name on it. Balloon should be slightly larger than your head.
2. Tear 1-2" wide strips of newspaper.
3. Once you have a pile of strips, dump water on them so they're wet but not dripping.
4. Squeeze a thin line of glue on each strip.
5. Start layering the wet, gluey newspaper on top of HALF of your balloon. (And NOT the part with your name. Also, if you do one layer of horizontal, then one layer of vertical newspaper it tends to keep its form better. You also want to make sure your newspaper is as flat and smooth as possible!)
6. Wait a night to dry!
7. Paint your Oracle Bones (aka turtle plastrons) white while STILL ON THE BALLOON.
8. Ask your oracle bone questions. Become inspired and paint your answers (from the Chinese character pages) on the oracle bone.
9. Pop balloon with glorious euphoria.
10. Separate and display Oracle bone for all to see... or wear it as a helmet. Your choice.
Results in picture form will soon be posted. :)

torebki avon torebki batyckiego mmk, so my antivirus expires in march and i'm thinking about switching....i currently have trend micro internet security, because it came with my laptop last christmas, however i'm considering going back to norton, because i had them for like 7 years on my old computer and had very few problems...it blocked alot of crap from my computer too lol. i know that trend micro has blocked some stuff too but it updates constantly and it drives me a little crazy lol. i absolutely refuse to get mcafee, i hate mcafee. its a piece of crap not worth my money, so many people that i know who had it and had trouble with it eithor just glitches or letting crap in other antivirus programs wouldn't have. and they didnt have their settings turned down low...i dont trust the free antiviruses eithor [avg, avast, avira, etc] because i just dont feel safe with them...i've heard kaspersy is pretty good, but what is in your opinion the best [thats not eithor mcafee or one of the free ones? lol] thank you!!
