- Slide 1: Title of the Google Slide Presentation (I WILL DO THIS ONE)

- Questions to consider as you create this slide:
- Why is it important that students understand this part of Michigan history?
- How does knowing about the past connect us to the present?
- What overarching theme or deeper meaning about life can be drawn from Michigan’s past?
- Review the historical thinking concepts..they should help you think about purposes too… (cause/effect, significant events, perspective, change and continuity…etc.) Websites for Visuals
