  1. THE WRIGHT BROTHERS BY Brian Cook March 31,2009

  2. Introductory Paragraph My family and I visit the Outer Banks of North Carolina a lot. When I was five years old my mom and dad took me to the Wright Brother’s Museum in a town called Kitty Hawk. At the museum you can see an actual model of the first airplane the Wright Brothers flew. On the outside of the museum you can walk on the runway they used when they flew their first plane. This is why I am writing my report about the Wright Brothers.

  3. Wilbur is the oldest of the two Wright Brothers. He was born in 1867 in Millville, Indiana. Orville was born in Dayton, Ohio in the year 1871. They were both born on a farm. Their parents names were Susan and Milton. They had six other brothers and sisters. In elementary school Orville got into trouble and got expelled once. When Wilbur was in high school he got hit in the face with a hockey stick.They both went to high school but did not graduate. Wilbur dropped out of high school. Both of them did not go to college.

  4. Wilbur and Orville Wright did a lot of things. When they were kids they made and sold kites. In 1890, the Wright Brothers had a printing business called The West Side News. In 1894, they started their own bike shop called Wright Cycling. They still were thinking of flying airplanes. They started watching birds and that is how they got the idea of a glider. The Brothers went to North Carolina to test fly the glider on a hill in Kitty Hawk. After many more trips to Kitty Hawk in 1902 they made the perfect glider. One year later, they put a motor on a glider, they named it the Flyer. The Flyer was the first successful plane in the world! It made history!

  5. These are some interesting facts about the Wright Brothers. Their first glider was used for firewood because it wouldn’t fly high or far! The only time the brothers flew together was in 1910. They promised their dad they would never fly together, but got permission this one time. In 1912, Wilbur died of typhoid fever at 45 years old. In 1948, Orville died of a heart attack. They are both buried with their parents in Dayton, Ohio.

  6. Concluding Paragraph My report was about the life of Wilbur and Orville Wright. I learned they became famous Ohioans because they lived in Dayton, Ohio and because they flew the first airplane. They made history! If you ever go to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina you should visit the Wright Museum.
