A is for Apple Orchards by Eli Goldberg

My topic for Michigan research is Apple Orchards. Apple orchards are important to Michigan because 825 family farms depend on their apple orchards for a living. These families need money for food, clothes and other resources. The apple industry also provides 700-900 million dollars to the state every year.

Something you should know about apple orchards is that our lives are affected by apple orchards because today because 825 families run apple orchards to make money and products for Michigan. Apple products are apple pie, apple cider and much much more. Then Michigan sells those products to make money. It makes me wonder why Michigan makes so many products.

Did you know that there is a group that represents apple orchards? I bet you didn't well let me tell you about them.The Michigan Apple Committee was originally established as the Michigan State Apple Commission in 1939. The Commission is a group that represents Michigan apple orchards.

Lastly you should know that 825 families depend one there farm for so many things.Michigan would be very different If we did not have apple orchards.Think about it if we did not have those families who work extremely hard for there orchards and most importantly Michigan.

A is for Assembly Lines by Ayal Starr

Assembly Line

By Ayal Starr

My topic is the Assembly Line. The assembly line is all over the world, but first it started in Detroit. Henry Ford founded the assembly line. The Ford Company today can make around 13,400 cars a day. At first, the assembly line was only used to produce cars, but now it produces many things. I remember when I visited the Hershey’s factory in Pennsylvania and they used the assembly line to make chocolate. It was amazing how quickly the chocolate came off of the assembly line.

Something interesting is that before the assembly line was invented, cars had to be made by hand and it took about 12 hours to make one car! Only rich people could buy cars. But now everyone can because of the assembly line. The cars were made faster and became cheaper. Also, it made more jobs for people in Michigan. I wonder what kind of expertise the workers specialized in?

Also another interesting fact is that Henry Ford thought that the assembly line would help Ford Motor Company sell cars faster and get more business. In 1916, he started using the assembly line and the time needed to make a car went from 12 hours to 93 minutes.It helped Michigan become famous for their cars. If we did not have it, people would not have as much access to cars. I think that without the assembly line Michigan would not be the same. It makes our state special.

Lastly, after the assembly was created and it became popular, Michigan became Motown, which means it is now a state known for its cars. In addition, the assembly line idea led to businesses using it to make lots of things outside of cars. It made cars quickly and the Ford Motor Company paid more money to their workers, which made the economy stronger and more immigrants came because they could get jobs. The assembly line changed the world forever and it made Michigan famous for their cars.

Detroit Bad Boys
By:Logan Glass

My topic for Michigan writing is the Detroit Bad Boys. It Is located in Detroit Michigan (Auburn hills). There are 9 Bad Boys. Their names are Isaiah Thomas, Bill Laimbeer, James Edwards, Dennis Rodman, Vinnie Johnson, John Salley, Joe Dumars, Rick Mahorn and Mark Aguirre and their coach was Chuck Daly.
One thing you should know about the Bad Boys is the Detroit Pistons kept on losing and losing until the Pistons management put together the Detroit Bad Boys. This makes me wonder how they knew who to trade for and who to draft to make such a good team. The Pistons management kept on trying to trade for Magic Johnson and telling the Lakers that some players were good but they really weren't. When they drafted Isaiah Thomas in 1981 they also traded for Bill Laimbeer and they just clicked and every year they got another piece and that's how the Bad Boys started.
Another thing you should know about the Bad Boys is the Bad Boys gave the whole city of Detroit something to root for and something to be proud of. It also gave the city of Detroit an identity that still lives on today. Just like the Bad Boys we are still rough and tough and ready to dominate. DETROIT vs EVERYBODY. This makes me think about how much teams hated the Bad Boys because they played so rough.
Lastly, they won 2 championships. Chuck Daly made up the Jordan Rules and was the coach of the dream team. Isaiah Thomas was the first bad boy. Joe Dumars was the last bad boy to retire. It is something to look back on because the Bad Boys played the dirtiest defense and it is crazy that they were so good then and the Pistons are so bad right now!!! This reminds me of the time the Pistons were good!!!
The Jordan Rules were if Michael Jordan went to the paint, the Bad Boys would crush him. If he was at the 3 point line, they would double team him so he would have no choice but to pass. The Jordan Rules were made because Michael Jordan was so good. I hope you learned alot about the Detroit Bad Boys.

Beaumont Hospital
By Moses Schuchman

Beaumont Hospital is located in many different places like Royal Oak, Bloomfield Hills,, and Troy, Michigan. Beaumont opened on January 5, 1955 and grew to include four hospitals and Ambulatory Centers in and around Dearborn. The decision to build a hospital on land donated by Henry Ford and Ford Motor Company was made by the Dearborn Mayor Orville Hubbard. After months of debate, the hospital plan was approved with the groundbreaking taking place in August, 1950.

The hospital opened with 238 beds, but now it has 1,070 beds. It has 8 hospitals and 145 out- patent locations. The doctors who work at Beaumont help people give birth and it also helps sick people. One fact about Beaumont is that I had my eye surgery there. This makes me think how hard it is for them right now because of Coronavirus. If we did not have Beaumont, we would be sick and unhealthy. This makes me wonder what it was like back when they first opened. It always makes sure we are healthy.

Beaumont has 8 hospitals in the entire Michigan. They are also the biggest health care system in Michigan. It used to be Oakland Hospital but it is now William Beaumont Hospital. In March 2014 the Beaumont Health Care System along with the Botsford Health Care and Oakwood Healthcare signed a letter of intent to merge their operations. Also Beaumont is worth 4.7 billion dollars.

Beaumont is a great hospital. If you are sick, you should go there.

CHERRIES
BY ZOEY PANTER

      My topic for Michigan research is cherries. Most of Michigan’s cherries are grown on cherry trees in Traverse City . Cherries were first found in 300 BC when scientists found cherry seed in the ground in Europe and Asia. But now, Michigan is lucky to be known for cherries.

      One thing to learn about cherries is how important they are to Michigan’s food industry. Cherries are a healthy fruit and can be used as ingredients in many different items, such as cherry pies, jam, in salads, icecream, and more. This makes me think that cherries are useful for many different foods and are delicious and healthy, too.

     Another interesting thing about cherries is that they can be used for other things aside from being used with food. Cherries have been used in medicine to help sick people. This reminds me of when I had to take a cherry flavored Tylenol when I had a cold. Cherries are used for flavoring and scents in beauty products, such as in lip gloss, body wash, shampoos, lotions, and many more products.

    Lastly, the cherry industry helps Michigan make money. Cherries are sold in farms and in stores all over our state. They are even sold to other states. Every year in the summer there is a festival called the Cherry Festival in Traverse City. I wonder how the Cherry Festival started. I am glad we have that festival in our state because many people go to Traverse City to attend this famous festival and enjoy touring everything in Traverse City.

    Cherries are wonderful and help to make Michigan a great state!
