Pretend you are Lorin Wright (Orville and Wilbur's older brother) joining your brothers at Kitty Hawk for the first time in 1902. Write a letter home to your sister Katharine describing what you see.

Use proper letter writing form. Include an introductory paragraph that lets your sister know, in general, how things are there at Kitty Hawk. In the second paragraph, describe the geographical setting, as well as the physical accommodations which the brothers have built. In the third paragraph, describe what the brothers have accomplished so far and how they feel about their work during this time. In the final paragraph, conclude with how you (as Lorin) feel about the work your brothers are doing at Kitty Hawk.

Use the pre-write below to help you organize your thoughts for the letter you will write. After you complete your pre-write, begin writing your letter. Remember to use proper letter writing form.
