Synopsis: The students will study the community where our school is located in Michigan. The students will go on a field trip/scavenger hunt in downtown Rockford, MI and take pictures of landmarks that tell the story of how Rockford began as a settlement as well as learn what makes Rockford the community it is today. They will then collaborate in groups to tell a digital story for the purpose of informing others about our community.

Driving Question: How has Rockford grown as a community?
