Summary: A wide variety of concise historical vignettes
Review: The collaboraton of Jon Kasparek, Bobbie Malone and Erica Schock, Wisconsin History Highlights: Delving Into The Past is an engaging textbook especially intended for middle school and high school students and teachers. Wisconsin History Highlights is not a standard, narrative history text; instead, it presents a wide variety of concise historical vignettes about events, people, and places in Wisconsin history, each of which has a wealth of hints to get students started on research projects about those or related topics. A thorough index rounds out this quality resource for building research skills, critical thinking capabilities, and awareness of Wisconsin's rich history.
