I was preparing upcoming Homeschooling lessons for Charlie this evening. I came across Corvettes Through the Decades which we saw at the Music City Mall in Lewisville, Texas.
I put together a Lesson Plan/ Unit Study for Charlie to use in our classroom.
For discussion questions I’ve decided from 1963 up until 2020 Charlie will research Corvettes and list one change they made each year in the Corvette.
Who designed the Corvette and when was the first one sold and what did it cost?
Which City was the first Corvette sold in and why?
Spelling words:
Cheverolete
Corverette
Automobile
Transmission
Tires
Stingray
Decade
Tires
Radiator
Radio
Art class:
If you could design your own Corvette what is one new thing you would add to the car and why? Draw a picture of this item. Color the corvette a color you would like your car to be.
Drama Class:
Check out these top 10 Corvette movies and chose one to watch. Write a 300 word report on what you learned through the movie.
Read Steve Magnante’s 1001 Corvette Facts and share 5 facts you learned through a play you put together.
Changes have been numerous, from the original Motorama cars turned into production cars, to the beautiful and popular mid-year cars, to the rakish lines of the Sting Ray designs, through the revolution turned evolution of the C4 through C7 models. Magnante covers them all here, generation by generation. Corvette fans of any generation are sure to love this collection.
Magnante is well known for his encyclopedia-like knowledge of automotive facts. The details he regularly shares on the pages of national magazines, as a contributing host and tech expert at the popular Barrett-Jackson Auctions on television, and as the primary host of Motor Trend’s Junkyard Gold show are those that car fanatics love to hear. Many feel that these facts are among the highlights of television auction coverage, much more interesting than other aspects of the auction.
Whether you’re an avid fan of all Corvettes, a trivia buff who wants to stump your friends, or you have a particular affinity for a certain era of Corvettes, this book is an informative and entertaining collection of facts from one of the industry’s most beloved and respected sources.
