Below is an image that I think would be a great resource to use in my classroom. The picture is an ariel view of Michigan's great lakes, which would be a great tool to use when teaching a lesson on Michigan. This image is an actual photograph of all five of the great lakes, which is unique because most pictures in textbooks only show Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. This picture is also a great tool for teaching students about other attributes of Michigan and the great lakes, such as identifying the major cities and most populated areas in Michigan, major highways and roads, the depth of the great lakes, etc. I think that this picture is really a great picture and shows a view of Michigan that many of us have not ever seen!
