Interweaving Wisconsin Studies: A Curriculum Guide
This recently revised curriculum guide aligns instructional
resources with The Wisconsin Model Academic Standards. The original
writing group was composed of fifteen 4th grade instructors
from the Madison Metropolitan School District. Consultation
and support was generously provided by The State Historical
Society of Wisconsin - Office of School Services. Historical
eras are presented with content foci, appropriate resources,
relevant standards for 4th and 8th grades, and a list of all
supplemental materials referenced. This is a work in progress
and should grow with the knowledge of additional resources and
the readers' passion and creativity for making additional connection
with the content identified within the standards.
