Student Activity Sheet: A Moment in Time

Directions:

Pretend you are a television news reporter who is creating a video series about historical moments in aeronautical history. Create a Wright Broth-ers segment and entitle it, "A Moment in Time with the Wright Brothers." Place yourself at Kitty Hawk on the day of the historic flight. Include the following information in your video news segment:

  • brief biographical information about the brothers;
  • brief chronology of the Wright Brothers' work that brings the viewer up to date on how they got to this "moment in time"
  • reason why they chose Kitty Hawk for their flight experiments;
  • their preparations before the momentous flight;
  • your description of the flight;
  • a brief interview with each brother about the event.

Try to make the video as realistic as possible and be creative about how you wish to focus on the actual event of the flight. Try to maintain historical accuracy. Use other resources to assist you in making your presentation accurate.
