Historic Mackinac Video - High School

How does this fit in with the MEAP?

Mackinac State Historic Parks' Education Programs provide many different experiences, hands-on approaches and review for students studying Michigan Cultural and Natural History. Activities can be found in our curriculum materials, outreach programs can be brought to schools and site visits can show the students the "real thing".

This is a list of Michigan Social Studies Standards that are obtainable through our Historic Mackinac video. This video touches on and reinforces these benchmark strands and standards where they are stated. However, it is the teacher who guides and reinforces the content presented to help reach, meet and obtain these strands and standards.
