Durand students compete at State National History Day competition

    Last semester, in their social studies, language arts, and English classes, seventh graders grade began working on National History Day projects, and freshmen started a NHD theme based research paper. Though only required in those classes, NHD participation is open to all Durand students. Choosing topics according to the theme “Exploration, Exchange, and Encounter in History”, students had the chance to become historians, and construct a National History Day project for the local competition held in March and regional competition held in April.
    Once individual topics were chosen, students learned how to use different resources to search for primary and secondary documents, formulate thesis statements, and present relevant information to show the consequences of different turning points throughout our history. Students devoted a substantial amount of time, both in and out of class to complete their projects, even putting in some long hours combining research and a pizza party work night.
    Projects were chosen at the regional competition in Eau Claire in order to advance to the Wisconsin State National History Day Event held at UW Madison on Saturday, April 23rd. Durand students at State were Freshman, Isaac Wegner, Eighth Graders, Josie Radle and Autumn Weiss, and Seventh Graders, Laina Hathaway and Ashley Nimmo. At State the students met with teams of judges to discuss their projects in depth and be evaluated based upon their presentation and knowledge. All students did an excellent job representing Durand!
    The State Competition ended with the awards ceremony to determine the finalists who would be part of the Wisconsin team at the National Event held outside Washington D.C. in June. Once again, Durand will be well-represented at the National Contest. Chosen to advance to Nationals was Isaac Wegner with his Senior Division Research Paper. Congratulations, Isaac!
