Summary

Classrooms in Wisconsin have been using the New Badger History Series for the last three years. The first in the series was a student reader and an accompanying teacher's guide, each entitled Digging and Discovery: Wisconsin Archaeology, which introduced young readers to Wisconsin history through the subject of archaeology. This second edition of the Teacher's Guide now includes enhanced directions, more answer keys, and exciting new ideas from teachers throughout the state. It incorporates revised materials, many entirely new activities, a revised format, and improved background information.
