This lesson plan includes activities associated with the book Amelia and Eleanor Go For a Ride. Because Amelia Earhart and Eleanor Roosevelt were both a great deal alike, it made perfect sense that the two women were friends. In April 1933, Eleanor was entertaining Amelia and her husband at the White House. Before dessert, the two women left to take a midnight plane ride over Washington, D.C. in Amelia Earhart's plane. This book is based on a true story.
