M: Kirsten, I’d like to speak with you now about your report on Amelia Earhart.W: Of course Professor Smith. How do you like my paper?M: Most students just gather facts –but your paper went deeper into the spirited and fascinating woman, Amelia Earhart, who rose to fame from the flight over the Atlantic Ocean in 1928 and disappeared over the Pacific Ocean in 1937.W: Thank you, professor. I became fascinated by Amelia Earhart’s story when I read about a race she flew in 1929. She was clearly in the lead and going to win –but sacrificed her own victory to land early and helped save a fellow pilot who had crashed. I was so impressed by her heart-felt sacrifice that it led me to read three more books about her!M: Well, that impressive research shows-up in your essay. I don’t remember you being so interested in history before. What changed?W: You’re right, sir. This is the first time I’ve had a personal connection with history. My great grandmother met Ms. Earhart when she visited Purdue University in 1935 and was inspired by her independent spirit and big heart! My great grandmother told her daughter and granddaughter (my mom!) about how that meeting changed her life, so, I’ve always been interested in learning about Amelia Earhart.M: That’s fascinating Kirsten! History really is as a web of interconnecting events, where every war, invention, and life connects with and impacts every other. If you take that view of it, I think you’ll find the entire class to be more personal and just as fun as this assignment.W: Sounds great, Professor Smith!
