    The website URL: Chinesenewyears.info
    This website aims to provide free and accurate information on Chinese New Year, the most important Chinese holiday celebration. It provides information on Chinese New Year history, calendar, crafts, traditions, food, greetings and activities. All the different categories are easily accessible by clicking separate tabs on the left-hand bar. Each topic is organized and well-explained. The relativity low lexile of the reading makes it a possible resource even for the early to intermediate English learners. I can use this website to introduce Chinese New Year to enrich students' multicultural experience on holidays around the world. I can also prepare a scavenger hunt for students to practice their research skills. With my native Chinese background, I find the information mostly accurate and resourceful. Yet, I also see room for improvement especially on the details and examples. Thus, I may also teach students to check website credibility and how to cross-reference the information for accuracy and potential materials to be added to the website.
