Learning Guide Excerpt
To give you a sense of how our Learning Guides can be used by teachers to develop lesson plans, and by parents to supplement school curriculum or for homeschooling we have set out below a paragraph from the Guide to This is America Charlie Brown: The Wright Brothers at Kitty-Hawk.
It was hard for the Wright brothers to gain recognition as the inventors of the airplane. Many people didn't believe that two unknown bicycle mechanics from the heartland of America had succeeded where all of the experts had failed. However, the Wright brothers patented the important components of their design and eventually gained the recognition they deserved. The Wright brothers made the first plane used by the U.S. Army, exceeding the government's specifications for a plane that would travel forty miles per hour and stay aloft for one hour.
The Learning Guide to the film This is America Charlie Brown: The Wright Brothers at Kitty-Hawk contains sections on Benefits of the Movie, Possible Problems, Helpful Background, Discussion Questions, Links to the Internet, and Bridges to Reading. The Discussion Questions are divided into three categories: Subject Matter, Social-Emotional Learning, and Moral-Ethical Emphasis.
