The link above takes you to an awesome video called, "This is America, Charlie Brown: The Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk." It's a Charlie Brown adaptation of the Wright Brothers' first flight at Kitty Hawk. I'm studying to be a teacher, so this would make a great lesson on the Wright Brothers while also being kid friendly! Charlie Brown and Linus go to Kitty Hawk to witness the first flight and they learn all sorts of things about the brothers, such as their cycle shop, their first attempts at flight, and how they achieved the first heavier-than-air flight. Snoopy and Woodstock are in it also, so how could you not watch it? :)
I've seen this. Fun to watch. I use it in my Public History classes on occasion and talk about how history is presented to the public in different ways, depending on the audience. Unfortunately, it sometimes means history is presented inaccurately...
