		<description><![CDATA[A wonderful collection of Amelia Earhart teaching resources and ideas, for a great lesson in women's history!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today the new <strong>Amelia Earhart movie</strong> is coming out, and I got to thinking about this iconic and wonderful female role model. She was a true pioneer for women in history to break out of outdated stereotypes and set higher goals for themselves. I&#8217;ve always admired her and part of me always hoped they would find her plane someday so that we could finally discover what happened to her.</p>
<p>When movies come out based on history, it&#8217;s a great time to bring these topics into lesson plans. We all know that a little Hollywood glamour always makes kids a bit more interested in homework!</p>
