My son's third grade social studies class had an assignment to pick a historical event of their choice, do some research and come up with 10 facts about their event. And wouldn't you know, unprompted by me or anyone else, he picked the disappearance of Amelia Earhart - probably influenced by having read an AE biography, again, of his own accord. They then had to write a poem and incorporate some of the facts that they learned. I thought you might enjoy what he came up with. He just turned 8 by the way
Unexplained Flight
By Ehren Collins
I took off on the 1st of June,
Amelia and I flying around the world.
Electra is my name.
Flying is my fame.
I thought we were landing on Howland Island.
Where is it?
We are lost in the
deep,
dark
ocean.
I’m waiting to be found.
Ships and planes are nowhere to be seen.
It’s 2013, and they’re still tracking me down.
Am I out of luck?
I still lie,
in patience,
waiting to be found.
