For teachers
This story replaces the first lesson on finding important events. It uses Amelia Earhart as a practice person so students can learn the two questions (Does it have a date? Did it change the person’s life, or the world?) before they look at their own books. Watch it together on a big screen, pause to let students answer each question out loud, then let them play the sorting game on their own.
