Who were the amazing brothers who are credited with inventing the first successful airplane? In this class, we will learn about the Wright Brothers using the book by James Buckley JR., "Who Were The Wright Brothers?". We will explore their childhood and take a look at that toy helicopter that inspired them, why their bicycle shop was so unique for it's time, their printing press, and even meet their sister, Katherine, who helped them with it all. We will learn about the reaction from the world when they first flew, who believed it and who didn't, and how they became international celebrities and inspired people to fly around the world. This class will be taught through recorded lectures and may also include supplemental videos (Youtube), readings, worksheets, and activities (recipes, movies, dioramas, experiments, etc.). Please see the syllabus below for a layout of the lessons included in this course. This class is presented in an asynchronous format. If you are taking this class through the Class Subscriptions, there will be no communication between learner and myself. If you are taking this class through the Self-Paced format, you will have 1 year to complete the lessons. If you choose to submit homework or communicate (questions on the classroom page), I will respond within 24 hours (excluding Sundays).
Learning Goals
Students will learn about the many attempts throughout history to fly and what made the Wright Brothers so different. We will learn about the Wright Brothers and their sister Katherine, the impact of air travel, and how planes have changed since their first glider at Kitty Hawk.
Our goals for this class are to:
Write about what we learn.
Use primary sources and different types of media (such as film and art) to learn about historical events.
Learn about historical events through the context of geography and how it affected different events.
Research, organize, and present their research on various topics, events, and figures.
Discuss topics while focusing on using specific details, facts, and reasons to support their opinions.
Use technology to research both past and current events and topics.
