Middle School National History Day Debut!

Evan Frawley and Ryan Tronnes, 7th graders from Edgerton Middle School, presented a documentary today at National History Day at Grainger Hall on the University of Madison campus.  After many hours of hard work, they produced a documentary connecting to the theme for this year's National History Day.  The theme was Right and Responsibilities and Evan and Ryan focused on Native American Hurdles and the controversary over school mascot names.  They researched and wrote a script that coincided with the still images in their 9 minute documentary.  Both Ryan and Evan agree that the experience was rewarding and tiring because of all the hard work that is needed to produce an educational film.  Being the first time these middle school students have presented at National History Day, a lot was learned and will be used if they decide to travel back to Madison next year.  Evan and Ryan deserve a lot of credit for taking on this academic responsibility.  And they would like to thank Mr. Molitor for allowing them to do this project as an out of classroom experience.  Look for these boys to be back next year with an amazing presentation!
