Introduction to 20th Century Aircraft

OPENING QUESTION:  Do you have a favorite/interesting plane/aircraft from the 20th Century?

If you do, describe it to the folks in your group

By the by, here's one of MY favorites. This plane was designed SPECIFICALLY for one and ONLY 1 task. What do you suppose that might be?

Please discuss with your group!

 

LEARNING GOAL FOR TODAY:

I will begin to review 20 specific aircraft from the 20th century during today's class.

I will begin the process of selecting a SPECIFIC aircraft for my presentation during today's class.

I will work with my group to identify WORLD CHANGING events that occurred during the 20th Century during today's class.

WORDS O' THE DAY:

None Today

WORK O' THE DAY:

Let's start with a wee bit of fun for the next, I dunno, 12 - 15 minutes maybe?

HERE is a list of the aircraft that you gotta know by heart by the middle of next week

And HERE be a game to help you practice!

═════════════════════════

Now please write down 4 or 5 events that you think can be accurately described as WORLD CHANGING events that occurred in the 20th century

Now please write each down using the sharpie pens I gave you using ONLY 2 or 3 words at most. WRITE BIG!

Now please work with your group to sort those items on your table (making sure that no one has to read them upside down-- you *can* do that, honest!)

I'll collect those and we'll put them up on the board (Remember, WRITE BIG) and discuss.

 

One of the key aspects we're going for is to be able to analyze aircraft development in turns of what was going on at the world at that time.
