My Project

Trying to get 100 6th graders engaged and motivated to read a piece of non-fiction writing is quite a challenge. This particular biography about Amelia Earhart is just what I was looking for!

I'm on a mission to fill our book room with exciting nonfiction books.

We have many books to choose from, but they are all fiction. Amelia Lost: The Life and Disappearance of Amelia Earhart is #1 on my list. It was written with middle school kids in mind. This book not only tells Amelia's life story, while going into depth about her last flight, it also includes maps, photographs, and hand-written notes from Amelia herself. I truly believe this book will engage even my most reluctant readers and will make practicing non fiction skills just a little more fun.

I know my students deserve an exciting new non fiction biography and I really hope someone can help me out. Maybe it will inspire a future pilot to start training, or a future explorer/detective to figure out once in for all what happened to Amelia and her plane.
