WELCOME TO SOCIAL STUDIES!

Today we will learn about the Copper Rush, which was basically a mining boom in the upper peninsula. What an amazing state Michigan is! We were positively blessed with oodles of precious lumber, and then they discovered copper and even something called iron ore! People flocked to Michigan because of the cheap land, and jobs in timber, copper, and iron. Yeah, Michigan!

Please read page 128 in your textbook.
When you finish, click on the link below, which will take you to an interesting story about copper in northern Michigan. The website will read the article to you as you examine the photos.

When you finish, there is a small, blue rectangle on the lower left portion of the page, entitled "Try this Fun Thing to Do!" It is indeed a fun word search!
