Orville Wright Wilbur Wright Our class participated in a collaborative Internet project designed by coordinators, Susan Silverman and Linda Brandon, to celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of the Wright Brothers' phenomenal flight on December 17, 1903.
During this project we read many books about the Wright Brothers. Two of our favorite books were: My Brother's Flying Machine: Orville, Wilbur and Me by Jane Yolen First to Fly: How Wilbur and Orville Wright Invented the Airplane by Peter Busby We also viewed the video Magic School Bus Taking Flight.
There are also many wonderful websites available for students to research the Wright Brothers. *"To Fly Is Everything" A Virtual Museum Covering the Invention of the Airplane *Sights and Sounds: US Centennial of Flight Commission This is a must see! *Document Based Questions about the First Flight Telegram After you research the life of the Wright Brothers, take a quiz to see how much you have learned! Students also designed and created paper airplanes to fly!
