Miss Todd and Her Wonderful Flying Machine was inspired by the Student Academy Award -winning animated short film Miss Todd and the real life story of Miss Lily Todd the first woman in the world to build and design an airplane. The story is set at the turn of the century when the world is awakening to the possibilities of 'the flying machine.' One young woman, Miss Lily Todd, is inspired and she'll do whatever it takes to fly. But oh, no, no, no At a time when becoming sky-born is already a challenge, Lily has more than gravity holding her down. Will she fly?

Pickpick

Originally this story was an award winning short film. It was eventually turned into a picture book. The book is a biography of Lily Todd, the first woman to design and fly an airplane. It shows how difficult it was for a woman to be recognized in that business. However, it also shows how perseverance and believing in yourself can take you far. It is a good pick for a read aloud to clarify some vocab and main ideas for students. #ucflae3414sp20

ShardaeP ESOL: Provide biographies of significant men and women from different countries (Lily Todd is an important american figure, but this book can be the start of learning about other important figures from different cultures).
UDL: 1.3 offer alternatives for visual information (play the award winning short film that preceded this book). It can be found on https://www.kristinayee.com/films.html

DrSpalding Yes! You‘ve selected English learner strategy 28. Universal design principle 1.3 works well! How exciting to have an award winning short film to complement this text. 4y
DrSpalding The animated short is fantastic! What a wonderful addition to this post. Thank you! I watched the whole thing and I am fascinated by stop motion animation. Beautiful! 4y
ShardaeP @DrSpalding I thought the short film was very creative too 😃 It was interesting to learn about Lily Todd, as I do not recall ever learning about her before. 4y
DrSpalding Same. I had not heard of her either. I learned something and loved the animated short film! I can see why it won. There is an excellent app called Stop Motion animation that you can create more simplistic versions of movies like this. 4y
