Week 1 Day 2 Activity 1 Up in the air


Hey there Guys and Girls, 
Today I will be comparing these two pilots, Amelia Earhart and Jean Batten. 
I hope you enjoy!


Amelia's Place of birth: Atchison, Kansas on July 24, 1897. 
Amelia's Place of death, or where she disappeared: Pacific Ocean, Howald Island, Papua Guinea, (age 39).

Amelia's favourite colour is brown. Her middle name is Mary. During world war 1 Amelia became a nurse's aid in Toronto, Canada, to tend wounded soldiers. On December 28, 1920, a pilot called Frank Hawks gave Amelia her first ride in an aeroplane. How did Amelia Earhart disappear? Well, here's the answer, Amelia was the first woman to reach the Atlantic Ocean. During an attempt to make a circumnavigational flight of the globe in 1937, in a Purdue-funded Lockheed Model 10-E Electra, Amelia Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan disappeared in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

Jean's Place of birth: Rotorua, New Zealand on September 15, 1909.
Jean's Place of death: Majorca, Spain (age 73)

Jean Batten's middle name is Gardner. Born in Rotorua, she became the best-known New Zealander of the 1930s, internationally, by making a number of record-breaking solo flights across the world.

  1. Mōrena Tiffany,

    Great post! I like how you've made the fonts different colours to make it easy to see what information is about Amelia Earhart and what information is about Jean Batten. You've shared some interesting facts about both women as well which is great. However, I have noticed that some sections of your post have been directly copied from other websites. This is called plagiarism and we can't award full points for posts that are not your own work. We ask that you have a go at re-wording that parts that you have copied. When you do, I'll be able to give you the full four points.

    Thanks Tiffany.

    Bye for now,

    Mikey :)
