"I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky.  I think about it every night and day, spread my wings and fly away."

This song relates to the Wright Brothers because no one thought that they could actually make a plane and be able to fly. Yet, they proved everyone wrong by believing that they could be the first in a plane taking off.
This relates to our current time period because nowadays planes are being used for travel from different countries and without the Wright Brothers invention, we wouldn't be able to expand in faster travel.]]> 2017-11-07 20:13:15 UTC https://padlet.com/taylor_viertel/lt380e90bpc5/wish/204570940 abigail_matthews https://padlet.com/taylor_viertel/lt380e90bpc5/wish/204571541 1. Flight simulator 
In this app you fly a digital plane and it takes you through the steps of a current day plane and how you would fly it. 
The Wright Brothers would probably have this because flying planes is something that they have working with for a long time, starting with following Otto Lilienthal research and his glider. To then building their own plane, they have had interest in planes for a long time.

It reminds them of the great accomplishments that they have done over the years and where they have reached.  ]]> 2017-11-07 20:23:09 UTC https://padlet.com/taylor_viertel/lt380e90bpc5/wish/204575467 taylor_viertel https://padlet.com/taylor_viertel/lt380e90bpc5/wish/204575677 Orville Wright:
Hey. So I think we need to try a different wing shape that would give for a better lift and control.

Wilbur Wright: 
I agree. The circular designs for the wings didn't go as well as I hoped. 

Orville: 
Let's go back to the flat, long side gliders for the wings, but then add another little wing in the back for control.

Wilbur: 
Yes! Like a tail. Then also propellers in the front for a better lift. 

Orville:
Let's start on that tomorrow.]]> 2017-11-07 20:23:34 UTC https://padlet.com/taylor_viertel/lt380e90bpc5/wish/204575677 taylor_viertel https://padlet.com/taylor_viertel/lt380e90bpc5/wish/204575747 This is just a picture of the two brothers. And just like today people take pictures together to post on social media. This would just be a picture of them to have of family, because they seem very close.

Hopper is an app where you can find and book flights. The Wright Brothers had this app, because it would give them information about flying that day, such as weather and safe flying tips for a good day at work. Today we would use this app to get flights which would make it easier to travel from place to place but also faster. Not only that but it would give us tips (just like the Wright Brothers got) but for current today traveling, such as what to bring.

"No plane on Sunday, maybe be one come Monday. Just a hopeless situation. Make the best of it's all you can do, 'till they get through."

This song relates to the Wright Brothers because again, many people had doubts about the creation of the airplane. The song states how they're trying to push through it and make the best of what they have which is probably what the Wright Brothers did in the creation of the airplane. 
This relates to current time and all time periods because  you have to make the most of what you have and go for what you believe in. This is a representation of the difficulty the Wright Brothers had in the making of the airplane. ]]> 2017-11-09 19:22:25 UTC https://padlet.com/taylor_viertel/lt380e90bpc5/wish/205463863 taylor_viertel https://padlet.com/taylor_viertel/lt380e90bpc5/wish/205465494 3. Learning to Fly by Tom Petty and the Heartbreaks
"I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings. Coming down is the hardest thing."

This song relates to the Wright Brothers because in the process of making the airplane,  the Wright Brothers had to teach themselves how to fly an airplane, but also build one too. They were the first successful plane that took off and worked so they had to come up with their own ideas of how it would work. This relates back to today because pilots still are upgrading and enhancing the planes that the Wright Brothers initially were involved with. Pilots these days need to learn to fly the aircraft which may seem scary at first, which would translate to the text “Coming down is the hardest thing.”]]> 2017-11-09 19:24:50 UTC https://padlet.com/taylor_viertel/lt380e90bpc5/wish/205465494 taylor_viertel https://padlet.com/taylor_viertel/lt380e90bpc5/wish/205470773 3. The maps app is used to to get from one destination to another in a faster and more manageable time. It gives spoken directions alone with a 3-D view of where you are going. The Wright Brothers would've used this app while in flight in order to get to where they wanted to fly once their first plane became more advanced. Today we use this map all the time in street viewing to get pretty much anywhere we want. ]]> 2017-11-09 19:33:52 UTC https://padlet.com/taylor_viertel/lt380e90bpc5/wish/205470773 taylor_viertel https://padlet.com/taylor_viertel/lt380e90bpc5/wish/205476300 This would be something that would come from a new paper article. It would be something that they would be very proud of, so why not have a picture. This would show their accomplishments, and how far they have come from just thinking about flying and gliders from Otto Lilienthal. Just like today someone might have a picture of their accomplishments like a team after they have won a tournament. ]]> 2017-11-09 19:43:53 UTC https://padlet.com/taylor_viertel/lt380e90bpc5/wish/205476300 taylor_viertel https://padlet.com/taylor_viertel/lt380e90bpc5/wish/205476393 The Wright Brothers would have this picture in their camera roll because of all the different designs that they would have of the plane. Those that didn't work, they would have a picture to then build off of that. They would then also know what didn't work. This would be just like projects students do during school, that they would change and go off something that didn't work. ]]> 2017-11-09 19:44:03 UTC https://padlet.com/taylor_viertel/lt380e90bpc5/wish/205476393 abigail_matthews https://padlet.com/taylor_viertel/lt380e90bpc5/wish/205572202 By: Abby Matthews and
