Evidence Write an Encyclopedia Entry
PROMPT
In Wheelchair Sports: Hang Glider to Wheeler-Dealer, you read how Marilyn Hamilton’s
own injury inspired her to design a new kind of wheelchair for athletes.
Imagine that you and your class are creating an encyclopedia of inventors. Write an
entry that tells about Hamilton and her important invention. Begin your entry with a
topic sentence that introduces your readers to the central idea and makes them want
to know more. Use your understanding of the facts and details in the text to tell
readers about Hamilton’s life before she was injured, to describe her injury, to explain
her invention, and to show how her invention has helped others. Don’t forget to use
some of the Critical Vocabulary words in your writing.
PLAN
Make notes about the central ideas and important details about Hamilton’s
life and her invention.
