  1. Amelia Earhart PowerPoint by: Debbie T. Rivera A photographic story of a life Tanya Lee Stone

  2. Facts about Amelia • Amelia Mary Earhart was born July 24,1897. • She was named after her Grandma, Amelia Otis and Mary Earhart. • Her parents names were Edwin Earhart and Amy Earhart. • On July 3,1937, Amelia disappeared

  3. Introduction • I chose Amelia Earhart because when I think of Amelia Earhart I think of her great mystery that not even scientist know what happened to her. Later on I will show you more about this mystery. She was a great pilot that tried to go around the world. This is why I chose Amelia Earhart.

  4. Childhood (Birth-11) • Amelia childhood was hard sometimes because her dad got an interest in drugs. Sometimes he would take it on Amelia. • Amelia’s life could never stay in one place for too long. Every 4 years, the most, they would move from there home. • When a stranger came up to her and said “ Hi, I’m from your home town” She would have to say “ Which one?” • Amelia was a high, spirited girl. As she became a little bit older, she got interested in “ boyish” activities. She began to play soccer and football. When she lived in her • grandmother’s house, she would jump over the fence! Only if her grandmother wasn’t looking. Once her mother made a home made rollercoaster and Amelia went on it and rode on it. • When Amelia was 3 years old, a new family member was born, Muriel. As also Muriel grew, she grew closer to Amelia and also became interested in activities that mostly boy’s played. • One Christmas day, she got a boy-sled. If it weren’t for that, Amelia would have gotten pummeled to the ground.

  5. Adolescence (12-18) When Amelia was in highschool, she didn’t even go to her own graduation! The caption that accompanied her senior photograph read: “The girl in brown who walks alone”. As she moved ,she went to a school called Ogontz. She started to develop more interest in school work. She met new friends, got good grades and she was so thankful, she got voted class president. She still continued to play mostly boy activities but, now we don’t really say that some sports are for guys and some for girls. She played soccer, and basketball. She was also voted secretary of the school’s chapter of the Red Cross when she was 18.

  6. Adulthood (18+) Amelia Earhart didn’t know she was going to be the next big thing. She remembered when she went to her firs air show. When she got older and more interested in air planes, she hit the record for highest plane ever flown by a woman. She flew over 14,000 feet. Later, on in the year she wanted to fly around the world, she wanted to be the first woman to go around the world. Sadly, as she left Lae, New Guinea she mysteriously disappeared without a single trace. Her death was declared on January 1, 1938.

  7. Most Interesting Part The most interesting part of the book I read was on one of the last pages. I saw two wooden, thick sticks with words carved into them. All I could read was: “ To my husband, I have crashed 250 mlls. From Hawaii – N.W. our motor…….into flames…. Sharks are about…..Mrs. A.E”. When I read this I automatically started to make out the words but, I couldn’t they were to blurred out. In the book it said scientist found the wood on the shoreline of Alaska. Scientists still don’t know when or where the scene took place. Some say Japanese people took her as a slave due to War, other people say she was a spy, other scientist believe that her resources of coming back like radio frequency, or map disorder may have caused her to fail her route of destination.

  8. Franklin Roosevelt Franklin Delano Roosevelt: Born: Hyde Park, NY January 30, 1882 Years they were president: March 4, 1933 until his death on April 12, 1945

  9. Three Questions • .Why do you want to fly around the world?’ • If you were still here how did you disappear? • If you came back and they gave you money for setting a record what would you do with that money?

  10. My Favorite Story One wintery day, Amelia was heading towards the bottom of a hill on her sled when a horse and cart turned over the corner headed right across her path. There was no time to turn and the driver didn’t see her in time to stop. Amazingly, Amelia and her sled slipped under the horse to the other side unhurt or undamaged. This makes me think wow she actually lived that accident!! 
