Students will record and illustrate today's research in their History Books. Students could guess which comes next on the bulletin board. Place their guess by the picture and have them wait until tomorrow's lesson to find out if they were right. Students will research by encyclopedia book or CD and Internet to make today's Place in History page. Students may also be guided to research carrier pigeons and the other things they were used for.
Students can draw a model of the carrier pigeons with the cameras attached.
Guide students to research the Wright Brothers. Also present Internet information about the flight in 1909. Students may also make and design their own paper airplanes. To get the feeling of flying let students take their airplanes and swing on the playground swings. Tell them to observe how things look differently when they are up on the swing.
