IntroductionFamous Quotation: "Please know that I am aware of the hazards. I want to
do it because I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have
tried. When they fail, their failure must be a challenge to others."Best known for: Amelia had lots of flying
adventures. In January 1935 she became
the first to fly to Hawaii to SF. The next
flight she took was across both the
Atlantic & the Pacific Oceans. She was to
fly from LA to Mexico.
3 Key Qualities: 1. Persevered2. Took action3. Demonstrated Braver
What I find interesting: that
Amelia had a talent forflying & she flew planes very well.
I chose this person because... I like planes & she liked planes
too. She made stuff & I like
making stuff too. I also like
Amelia's hairdo.

Overcame a Hardship/Challenge
In 1920 Amelia went to an
air show in Los Angeles &
she got excited because she
wanted to fly. But womenweren't supposed to go out
on adventures.I think it's bad that only
men could do what they
wanted. Women had to stay
around & do nothing.

Showed Compassion and Empathy
Before Amelia liked planes
she helped wounded men
from the army that have
been shot. Amelia liked
helping them. Then she liked
planes so she started to
only help people that were
in planes. I think that Amelia only
helped people that were in
planes because she really
really liked planes & she
asked them about planes so
she could ride planes.

Took Action
In 1928, Amelia Earhart
became the first women to fly
across the Atlantic Ocean. She
checked the map on the planecalled the Friendship. I think that when she checked
the map on the plane she had to
work hard so she didn't make
mistakes. She became famousbecause she flew.

Persevered
Amelia liked planes &rode them. She gotthrown in an open field & another time shecrashed in a storm. Even though she had accidents,she kept flying & trying. I think Amelia worked
very hard & she didn'tstop trying. She didn't
stop trying because she
loved planes.

Impact: How Things are Different Today
If Amelia hadn't
decided to fly planes
then women might not
be able to fly planes.Now girls know that
they have the same
rights as men.

Demonstrated Bravery
Flying was rough & dangerous.
Planes were unsafe & they usually
crashed but Amelia still wanted
to fly. Her father let Amelia havea short flight. Amelia was so
excited as she took off. It was so
pretty she knew she wanted to
fly. I think it was brave of Amelia tofly when it was stormy out.

Communicated and Shared
Amelia Earhart wrote lots
of stuff about her life. She
also gave lectures. In her
speeches she shared aboutwar & the rights of women.
I think she worked very
hard for war to stop & for
women's rights.
