The Student Activity Guide for Wisconsin: Our State, Our Story brings each chapter of this textbook alive for Wisconsin teachers and students! The Guide addresses Wisconsin Academic Standards across the board by providing a variety of activities for each topic. The choice of available activities means that the Guide will accommodate a wide range of teacher preferences and classrooms. Wisconsin people and places move from the pages of history into the classroom through the primary sources that are incorporated into the activities. These include fascinating excerpts from letters, journals, and autobiographies as well as pictures, maps, and other documents presented in small, easy-to-teach chunks.
While reproducible worksheets are a key component of the Guide, other crosscurricular activities make the textbook material accessible to all learners. These include drawing, hands-on work, modeling, simulation, computer/Internet, map-work, drama, games, and music. Still-more-involved activities will be made available on this textbook portion of the Wisconsin Historical Society website. All the variety will stimulate student understanding!
