Up in the Air

Summer Learning Journey Challenge 1 Day 2

For this activity, compare and contrast these two aviators. You could use this Venn diagram. On your blog, share your comparison between the two women and be sure to include at least three similarities and three differences between these two aviators.

For this challenge today we had to compare Jean Batten and Amelia Earhart on a Venn Diagram. 

I read these Texts and did the Diagram of it.

Jean Batten was a famous aviator (pilot) who was born in Rotorua, New Zealand in 1909. In the 1930s she made several record-breaking solo flights (on her own) across the world. In fact, she was the first person to fly solo from England to New Zealand - a huge achievement! She also flew a number of long solo flights between England and Australia/Brazil. When she flew, she always took a silk dress with her so that she could look beautiful at the parties she attended upon her arrival.

Amelia Earhart was an American aviator who lived at about the same time as Jean Batten. Like Jean, she also flew solo. In fact, she was the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. She flew all the way from Canada to Northern Ireland on her own without stopping. In 1937, Amelia Earhart attempted to circumnavigate (go right around) the world. Unfortunately, the flight ended in tragedy when she disappeared near Howland Island, about halfway between Australia and Hawaii. She was never found.
