Aviator Connections

L.I- to make connections with prior knowledge and to gather information across texts to form an opinion
Today for reading I had to do some research on a Aviator I didn't know about. Once I was done researching I had to find four or more connections between the new aviator Louis Bleriot and the four other Aviators Jean Batten, Amelia Earhart, Richard Pearse and The Wright Brothers.

Aviator Speech

Fraidon:

Amelia Mary Earhart was born on July 24th, 1897 in Atchison, Kansas in the home of her grandfather. Earhart was the child of Amelia Otis Earhart and Samuel Staton Earhart.

Tiava:

At the age of 10 Amelia saw her first aircraft at the Iowa State fair. She described it to be a thing of rusty wire and wood that did not look interesting to her at all.

Fraidon:

Earhart graduated from Chicago's Hyde Park High School in 1916. She kept a scrapbook of newspaper clippings about successful women.  She began junior college at Ogontz School in Pennsylvania, but did not complete her program.

Tiava:

In Long Beach, on December 28, 1920, Earhart and her father visited an airfield where Frank Hawks gave her a ride that would forever change Earhart's life.

Fraidon:

Another pioneer female taught Amelia Earhart how to fly a plane. On May 21st Amelia accomplished her goal of flying solo across the atlantic ocean. She took off from Newfoundland, Canada, at 7:12 p.m. on May 20, in her Lockheed Vega. At one point she dropped almost 3,000 feet.

Tiava:

Sadly Amelia Earhart’s adventures came to an end when she disappeared over the central Pacific Ocean on July 2, 1937.

Aviator Timeline

L.I - to scan for key information and to skim for general information
Today for reading I had worked on a timeline with my class Fraidon. We had to research what Richard Pearse and The Wright Brothers did up to their first flight. We had to make a timeline showing what they did they date of the event and who was first. I learnt that Richard Pearse made a powered plane before the Wright Brothers did. I found it hard to find the date of the events.

Aviator Conclusion

L.I - to write a concluding paragraph
Today for writing I had to chose out of Amelia Earhart, Jean Batten, Richard Pearse and the Wright Brothers to do a concluding paragraph on. I had chosen to write my conclusion about Amelia Earhart. I had chosen Amelia Earhart because she has set very interesting records. I learned a lot more about Amelia Earhart just by researching for my conclusion. I found it hard to gather information and turn it into a ending.

News Reporter

Today for reading I had to write down questions that I could ask myself. I wrote as much questions I could think of and then after that I had to chose the top 10 best questions. I learned what a news reporter has to do and how they do it. I found it hard to ask myself questions I knew answers to.
