Graphic Organizer: Michigan's Automotive Industry



...
I chose to use a brainstorming style graphic organizer. I would use this graphic organizer to ask students the important historical inquiry questions that can be used while writing a research paper. The example topic is "Michigan's Automobile Industry" and then I would ask each of the historical inquiry questions. Then I give the students hints, or more questions to help stimulate research. Teachers could also add another level of "brainstorm bubbles" that could be colored differently and this would allow for student response.

This example follows these Grade Level Content Expectations:
...
H3 History of Michigan (Beyond Statehood)
4 – H3.0.1 - Use historical inquiry questions to investigate the development of Michigan’s major economic activities (agriculture, mining, manufacturing, lumbering, tourism, technology, and research) from statehood to present. (C, E)
...
What happened?
When did it happen?
Who was involved?
How and why did it happen?
How does it relate to other events or issues in the past, in the present, or in the future?
What is its significance?
