| Directions: |
Create a series of interviews with the Wright Brothers at each
of their aeronautical junctures as listed below. The interviews
can be performed live like a television talk show or as if they
are being interviewed on the radio. You can videotape your script
or make an audiotape of your interview.
- successful wing warping kite, July 27, 1899
- glider flown as kite, October 1900
- manned glider with attempts at turning, August 1901
- after breaking the distance records for gliding with full control
of the aircraft, October 1902
- after achieving powered flight, December 1903
Include the following information in each of your interview segments:
- A brief description of the event by either the interviewer or
the brothers;
- An explanation of what problems they had to overcome to achieve
this step;
- How this brings them closer to achieving controlled, powered
flight;
- What problem they have to overcome next to get closer to their
goal;
- If performing your interviews live (or on videotape), have some
drawings to help illustrate the information.
