Do you know of a child or young adult 

who loves history? 

It's not too late for students to participate in Michigan History DayR for
the 2019-2020 season. Michigan History Day, or National History Day in
Michigan, is an educational program sponsored by the Historical Society of
Michigan. The program is designed to encourage students in grades 4-12 to
explore historical subjects using project-based learning.

Day video to learn more!

This free program is very flexible and can be done school-wide, through
after-school clubs, or even with individual students. It's open to students
in private and public schools, as well as students who are homeschooled.
Participants can be "coached" by teachers, librarians, family members, or
community members.

Over the course of several months, students research an individually chosen
topic that connects with an annual theme. The 2020 theme of Breaking
Barriers in History provides students with an opportunity to select a
variety of topics from local, state, national, or world history. Each
student becomes a historian, considering his or her topic from many angles
and arguing a point of view. They present their research by creating an
exhibit, documentary, website, performance, or paper. With the exception of
the paper category, students can work on entries in teams of up to five
students or as individuals. Michigan History Day aligns with many Content
Expectations for Social Studies and Language Arts and addresses the C3
Framework for Social Studies content.
