Let's begin with what we already know.  Everyone has a special place in Michigan.  Use the "My Favorite Place in Michigan" project to share your favorite spot in our great state.  



​It's always a good time in Michigan!  Check out this cool video and count the number of places you've been to.
​We start our study of Michigan with the term geography, which is the study of places and the ways people live and use them.  We use geography to answer questions like...

•Where is this place?
•What is it like there?
•How do people use places?
​•How is a place connected to other places?
