Introduction
We've all heard of the Wright Brothers and their famous flight. Now pretend you are interviewing them to tell of their triumphant invention. Write out what you believe their answers would be. Get details and a good representation of them and their work ethic. Add at least one picture of them and then put it all in to a layout for a newspaper.
Task
Individual Work
Write this up alone. If you want help to flesh out answers or make it sound more realistic, you may work together, but the actual article needs to be done independently. Don't forget to find a picture of your interviewees!
Make sure the work looks somewhat authentic. Set it up in a real newspaper format. More points for creativity and how real it looks. That interpretation is up to you.
Process
Use the links provided below to find some information. If more is needed for your article, find credible sources and site them on a second Google document.
Some questions you may want to think about:
1. Why did the Wright Brothers decide to do this?
2. Why did they do it where they did?
3. How many hours did it take for this to work/you to build the plan?
There must be at least twenty questions answered. If you use anecdotes in your story, make sure that you use proper grammar and quoting if you use exact words and cite where they're from. (Additional resources may be used, but they must be credible and cited at the end of your work on a separate sheet of paper.

Evaluation
Conclusion
Congratulations on finishing your newspaper article about the Wright Brothers! Now that you're all done, revise and edit it. If you want bonus points, find an extremely obscure fact about the brothers, the best joke you can about them, or a silly rumor that you've heard.
Turn your work in to me directly. If you used sources other than the ones I listed they must be cited properly on another piece of paper that is attached to your newspaper article.
