"Who Was Amelia Earhart?" ch. 3 & 4

After working in a Toronto hospital until World War I was over, Amelia decided to go to Columbia University and become a doctor. At this time, most men wanted wives who

• learned to fly

• wanted other careers

• would stay at home

• didn't want children

The Women's Suffrage Movement was when

When Amelia first learned to fly,

• there were amazing airports everywhere

• she flew in an air show

• she went flying all around Southern California

Amelia's first airplane was named

• Amelia

• Neta

• my favorite airplane

Amelia took her the test for her pilot's license

• about a year after her first lesson

• soon after her first lesson

After Neta got married and could no longer teach Amelia, she teamed up with Monte Montijo. He taught her

• to fly across the Rocky Mountains

• how to repair airplanes

• to do tricks in the air like huge upside-down loops

• how to earn money flying airplanes

Amelia wanted to see how high she could fly. She added an instrument to her plane to measure how high off the ground she was.

• The instrument didn't work, so she gave up the attempt.

• She knew the cockpits were open and added a roof to her plane.

• She flew more than two and a half miles high.

• Amelia passed out due to no oxygen in the air.

Since she couldn't make money flying, she bought a fancy yellow convertible. She named it

• the Canary

• Yellow Peril

• Ford Model T

• Sam Chapman

Choosing to have a career and her freedom, Amelia
