INTRODUCTION
This lesson was developed as part of a computer training class offered through Questa
Independent School District on creating a web page.

After viewing the film Mulan with my students and discussing their favorite characters, I found that dragons sparked their interest but we didn't know much about them so with them in mind, I have created some lessons for them to explore.

GRADE LEVEL AND CONTENT AREAS
Lessons can be modified to be used with students in k-3. They involve Social Studies, Geography, Math, Language Arts and Fine Arts. Since young children develop concepts, language skills and knowledge through play and experience. These lessons will focus on active exploration, guided discovery and concrete activities. Creative expression will be developed through integration of Art, Music and Drama.
