This 178-slide PowerPoint presents an amazing collection of images and historical information about the settlement of Tennessee and about famous residents like Daniel Boone. Viewers are tasked with using appropriate sentence combining techniques to correct the choppy, run-on, and stringy sentences used in the commentary.
