Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Keweenaw National Historical Park is a unit of the U.S. National Park Service. Established in 1992, the park celebrates the life and history of the Keweenaw Peninsula in the Upper Peninsula of the U.S. state of Michigan. As of 2009, it is a partly privatized park made up of two primary units, the Calumet Unit and the Quincy Unit, and 21 cooperating Heritage Sites located on federal, state, and privately owned land in and around the Keweenaw Peninsula. The National Park Service owns approximately 1,700 acres (690 ha) in the Calumet and Quincy Units. Units are located in Baraga, Houghton, Keweenaw, and Ontonagon counties.
The Congressional legislation establishing the Park stated, among other things, that:
(1) The oldest and largest lava flow known on Earth is located on the Keweenaw Peninsula of Michigan. This volcanic activity produced the only place on Earth where large scale economically recoverable 97 percent pure native copper is found.
(2) The Keweenaw Peninsula is the only site in the country where prehistoric aboriginal mining of copper occurred. Artifacts made from this copper by these ancient Indians were traded as far south as present day Alabama.

SUMMARY
=======
The Keweenaw Peninsula ( KEE-wi-naw, sometimes locally /ˈkiːvənɔː/) is the northernmost part of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. It projects into Lake Superior and was the site of the first copper boom in the United States. As of the 2000 census, its population was roughly 43,200. Its major industries are now logging and tourism, as well as jobs related to Michigan Technological University and Finlandia University.
Every Kid in a Park ABC 10 News Story
Fourth graders in the Western Upper Peninsula are getting excited about an upcoming field trip to a local National Park, and their parents receive free admission to that, and any National Park for the next year.
As the National Park Service makes itself known and available to American families, Keweenaw area fourth graders are receiving a visit from a park ranger who is extending an invitation to the students for a field trip they will taking in the upcoming spring.
‘4th Graders are selected because they are the perfect age of being curious and precocious but it’s typically also the age where American history is taught. And most National Park Service sites are based in some way on history and culture.’ Said, Keweenaw National Historical Park Education Technician, Katie Keller.
Ranger Katie has two reasons to visit fourth graders.
‘The purpose of today’s visit is a pre visit for our Copper TRACES program, where in May, all of the 4th graders will come to the Calumet unit of Keweenaw National Historical Park for a really awesome field trip.’ Said, Keller.
When Copper TRACES was created in 2016, the National Parks Service celebrated it’s 100th anniversary and the program was built in conjunction with another federal program called Every Kid in a Park.
KNHP Chief Education Interpreter, Kathleen Carter stated,
‘Our park ranger, our education technician, Ranger Katie has gone to all of these classrooms and introduced them to the Every Kid in a Park program along with the National Park Service and Keweenaw National Historical Park. She visited with them and gave them their park passes and that allows that child and put to three adults free access to that park and it’s good for one year.’
Keller added,
‘Every Kid In a Park is an interagency initiative on behalf of the federal government. Agencies like The National Park Service, the US Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, all have federal lands in all 50 states and with the every kid in a park pass you get into those sites for free.’
Katie visits area sctudents at the beginning of each school year and spends a full class period with the 4th graders, engaging their interest and curiosity.
She also said,
‘I introduce them to National Parks, the Keweenaw National Historical Park, and distribute passes for them to get into the National Parks with their families.’
With group activities like the National Park Dance, and class participation- examining the symbols represented in the Iconic Arrowhead, the students are introduced to the Park System in an inviting manner. Some of them for the first time.
‘Overall I’ll probably do about 30 of these visits this fall. I think I will be handing out 528 by November.’ Stated, Keller
While the Keweenaw National Historical Park continues to plan and prepare for the upcoming spring event, the 4th graders and their families are welcome to use that pass at any National Park, with 417 to choose from across the country.
