As we continue on in our history of flight unit, we’ve learned that many different peoples and cultures have myths about people flying. We read one about Daedalus and his son Icarus who were trapped in a tower by a wicked King. Daedalus used feathers from birds and wax from candles to fashion some wings so they could escape. He warned Icarus not to fly to close to the sun, or the wax would melt. Icarus didn’t listen. The wax on his wings melted and he fell into the ocean and was never seen again. Anyways, so I had Lincoln make up his own flying myth. I thought he did a really good job.
