Description
Have your students create a collaborative poster and learn about Amelia Earhart in a fun, fresh, and engaging way! Through this activity, students will explore Earhart’s groundbreaking achievements as an aviation pioneer, author, and advocate for women in flight. As they work together, they’ll also strengthen their teamwork and communication skills while contributing to one unified final product.
This biography research activity is an excellent addition to aviation units, Women’s History Month, or lessons on exploration and innovation. Students will connect Earhart’s courage, curiosity, and determination to broader themes of perseverance, discovery, and breaking barriers.
Students will begin by researching Amelia Earhart and gathering information about her background, accomplishments, and lasting legacy. They’ll then record their findings in the designated sections on the poster before working together to color or paint and assemble the final display. Once completed, the six-piece poster can be printed on regular paper or cardstock and will measure approximately 28" x 15" when taped together. For long-lasting classroom use, you can laminate the finished product!
This resource includes student directions, a project rubric, and a brainstorm graphic organizer. It also includes six blank coloring pages that come together to form one cohesive poster, an Amelia Earhart answer key, an example of the final project colored, and a digitally colored example to guide and inspire your students.
