Description
Wisconsin History Highlights encourages middle school and high school students and teachers to use Wisconsin resources in their own research in American history, as they create National History Day projects or do other research. Ten chapters on subjects such as immigration, environmental history, tourism, and manufacturing contain concise introductions to specific events, people, or places in Wisconsin history. Each synopsis includes sample documents representing the kinds of primary source materials students can discover as they begin their research, and introduces students to basic secondary sources for each topic. Every chapter closes with a two-page detailed bibliography of available primary and secondary materials.
