The Wright Brothers

Watch this video on the Wright Brothers. This 26-minute talking head video explains how the Wright Brothers were able to succeed in designing the first airplane — their unique methods and the influence their mother had on their creativity. What do you think about the fact: “If you draw it on paper first, then it will be right when you build it.”

    I think the Wright Brothers are so cool! What their mother taught them about drawing it before you build it was a good strategy but just because you draw it first dosen’t always mean its going to be right when you build it. I think it’s really cool that their dad is a preacher except that he can’t be home with them quite as much as other dads. It really stinks that their dad couldn’t teach them the strategy that their mother taught them. It’s sooooo awesome that they built the first airplane that you could steer by yourself without counting on the wind. It’s really weird though that they had to look at what other people were doing before they really knew how to build it. I wonder how they felt when people were picking on them because they said they were going to fly one day and then they ACUALLY did!! Anyway the point is the Wright Brothers really helped our future and that’s all that matters!

    To Tell the Truth, I’m not a building person, so I have never tried it! But Susan Wright is really smart, and it worked for The Wright Brothers over all their hard, long years of building, so it probably does! I remember in one of the books we read in class- The Wright Brothers: Pioneers of American Aviation- young Orville and Wilbur never heard of their mother’s wise saying. So, I think that the saying “If you draw right on paper first,then it will be right when you build it” is really accurate.

    I thought the Wright Brothers were cool dudes! I thought it was awesome that they invented the airplane. I was just on an airplane not long ago and I remembered that they made it! It was pretty cool that I found random magnets and stickers around the house that had their pictures on them. I remember when I was little and I went to the Wright Brothers Memorial with the giant white statue.

    The Write Brothers are so cool because they built stuff themselves.Their mom helped them build some of the stuff while their dad was somewhere else.They were the first people to make a glider.Their mom told them “If you write it on paper it will be right when you build it”.

    I think the Wright Brothers are cool because and fun to read about. Their mom is really smart because she said draw it and write it before you make the thing. The cool part is that a guy older then them actually failed and the Wright Brothers actually accomplished their goal and invented the first airplane.

    I think that the wright brothers book is a very good book because it teaches you that you can accomplish anything and that you should never give up like the wright brothers they never gave up they kept trying to make the plane fly.This book should teach you a lesson it tought me one.

    This is an awesome blog. The Wright Brothers are so cool. Like to make the first airplane is so awesome. What would you think if you made the first airplane? I think that I would freak out. I mean like don’t you think that if you made the first airplane that you freak out.

    I think the Wright Brothers helped out the future by making an airplane. Think about it, they did not make the first plane but they flew the first airplane. They made history in December of 1903. The brothers always thought about flying. The Wright Brothers finally achieved their dream.

    The Wright Brothers were very creative. They invented the first airplane. In 1903 they flew the first plane in the world. They are super cool! But I love their mothers saying ” if you draw it on paper it most likely will come out right.” I think the Wright Brothers were really cool.

    I think the Wright brothers are cool because the built and flew the first airplane in history. It was cool because their mother taught them how to draw their inventions on paper before they built it with wood. I thought their dad was supposed to teach them that but I was wrong because their dad was not home very often because he was a traveling Pastor and when he was home he’d did not spend time with his sons. That is a reason I feel bad for the Wright brothers. That is all I have to say about the Wright brothers.

    I think the Wright Brothers are cool because they are smart. The Wright Brothers are smart because they built the first airplane. The Wright Brothers also improved bike and made a newspaper. The Wright Brothers had a very good mother that reached them tho draw before you build. This help the Wright Brothers a lot. This is why I think the Wright Brothers are cool.

    I think it was an awesome book because they changed travel for the world. Also it was cool how they built a sled by themselves. I would never go on an airplane because I have seen plane crashes on the news.

    I think the Wright brothers are so cool and very smart because they created a machine that make a human being fly. One thing that fly that a human made back then was a glider that is controlled by the wind. The airplane that they made was by a human. I think if you draw it out on paper first then making it was a great idea because you can’t get it wrong.
