The Ups and Downs of this flight- Autumn

Wow that kite building experience was so much different then I imagined it, I thought I would use instructions to build this kite but we didn't. First we took the sheet I brought from my house as fabric or material, we used that as the base covering, we put the two sticks we had into a cross and then we outlined the box. Were're doing a fighter kite but in a box shape, we cut out the box shape on the sheet and taped the two stick-ed cross to the sheet.

 We soon realized we needed four more sticks because duh as you scholars know a box is quadrilateral and a quadrilateral has four sticks, which is why we needed the four other sticks. My teammate Jasmine got some bamboo sticks from her dad and some were to long and some were too short, but we had our math teacher Ms.Lietsman cut of the long parts of the long stick.  

Then our very fabulous scholarly teacher Ms.Leitsman had an Idea that we should staple all the sides of the square a little bit not too much and slide the sticks  through the flap. We taped the middle of where the two sticks that form the line intersect. Finally we our kites structure done, all we have to do is paint our kite which will make it beautiful, also we need to add some streamers or some stuffing paper for the tail, and we need to use the rope we have for the kite to fly but not fly away from us.
