"We were very impressed with this year's projects," said Amy Bradfield,
Michigan History Day state coordinator. "The students took this year's
theme-Taking a Stand in History-to heart and created some very innovative
and impassioned entries in all five of our categories-performances,
exhibits, papers, websites and documentaries."

Michigan History Day (National History Day in Michigan) offers a fascinating
opportunity to move beyond routine learning. Based on the annual theme,
students choose to explore and research a local, national or international
historical topic. They then present their work through the disciplines of
writing, art, literature, music, drama and/or visual communications.

Lead sponsors of Michigan History Day 2017 are Meijer, Amway and Bay City
Public Schools.
