Description
Wisconsin History Highlights encourages middle school and high school students and teachers to use Wisconsin topics and resources to illuminate their own research in American history as they create National History Day or other research projects. Ten chapters on subjects such as immigration, environmental history, tourism, and manufacturing each contain concise introductions to specific events, people, or places in Wisconsin history. Topics include "Finnish Co-ops: Fair Trade in the North Woods," "A Watery Grave: Protecting Wisconsin Great Lakes Shipwrecks," and "Legendary Architect: Frank Lloyd Wright and Modern Home Design." Each synopsis includes one to three sample documents representing the kinds of primary source materials students will 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. Distributed for the Wisconsin Historical Society.
