IN OUR TIME
Jack and Pearl are rushing to get to Kitty Hawk, NC to see Wilbur and Orville Wright. They want to catch sight of who many call the two biggest fools in America. They arrive just in time to see wooden craft take flight and Jack acknowledges it’s the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen. In Our Time is a fast-moving tour of American history and the study guide helps students follow this young couple from Kitty Hawk to the assembly lines in Detroit, to World War One, the Woman’s Suffrage Movement, the Great Depression, the Civil Rights Movement and the dawn of the internet.
