My Assignment
In this assignment I am asking my fourth graders to learn all about the First in Flight by the Wright Brother. The students will learn all about Orville and Wilbur life. They will also learn about their different gliders that they invented. I also want the students to learn why the Brothers chose Kity Hawk to test their inventions.
In the social studies portion of this unit my students will analyze the historical event of The First in Flight in Kity Hawk, North Carolina. They will also understand how this invention of technology affected the growth and development of North Carolina. To meet the Language Arts goals, my students will be reading articles on the Wright brothers and their Gliders. In addition my students will write a creative paper about their own invention.
