Rogers City

My Northern Michigan Adventure Every year my family and I go up to our favorite place, Rogers City Michigan. Rogers City is a small town at the edge of Michigan right on the water. It is a place to relax and unwind for a while. The small city offers quaint shops, delicious places to eat and friendly people. We stay right on the shores of Lake Huron just outside of Rogers city.

no freedom at all. The learning system that I though of was playing charades with the characters we learned in English class. It may sound simple, because it is, but it allows students to become more naturally attached to the characters. When people play this game they get to experience the character as they would in the books, but this time in the real world.
