Summary: |
This biography of Wilber and Orville Wright is told by their younger sister. |
Teaching Ideas: |
This book contributes an easy-reading text to the text set on flight (see matrix) and specifically on the Wright Brothers. Readers may be curious enough about why their sister did not fly in her brothers' planes until many years after Kitty Hawk to do online research or write about an imagined reason. The book suggests many discussion and writing topics: How did their sister differ from Wilber and Orville and why? What would have happened if she had been another brother? |
