ALEXANDRIA, Va. - Freshmen at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Fairfax County are being told to go fly a kite. It's a part of an innovative new lesson plan that mixes technology and design with a English lesson on the Afghan novel, "The Kite Runner."

The students' kites can be seen flying through the air at West Potomac Park on Friday, Nov. 21 in West Potomac Park.
