What Makes A Community? cartoon boy
The VHS-broadcast program, "Follow Your Path," serves as an instructional model for classroom or home assignment. Students explore their personal history as they travel "their path" from past to present, into the future. They construct murals, write compositions, and compose songs to describe their region "then and now." Students in Marquette, in the Upper Peninsula, create a table model of their Lake Superior shoreline to better understand their region.

To enhance the concept of time travel, several short visits to Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan are also featured as part of this lively video. This entertaining and informative program provides teachers, parents, and other educators with a guide to enhancing Social Studies, English Language Arts, and other Critical Thinking paths.
