Amelia Earhart: American Aviator

1999
Our project was done by two members. Katie is in fifth grade and Alex is in fourth grade. We made a web site about Amelia Earhart. Our site tells about the life of Amelia Earhart. Every year we do about four research projects. We picked Amelia because we think it will help others to learn how people are created equal and that girls can do more things just like Amelia's parents let her and her sister do. In fourth and fifth grade in Oregon we work on assignments that we do to meet Benchmark standards. We keep some of the assignments in a portfolio and they are scored using special scoring guides. We used this project as one we put in our portfolio and Mrs. Smith scored it using the scoring guide. By doing this project we learned how to do research in many different ways, both at libraries and over the net. We learned how to make web pages and had to solve lots of problems along the way.
