The History Notebook (English and Spanish, print and digital) is an important part of students' study of U.S. History. It introduces Dr. Fred Hiebert, National Geographic's Archaeologist-in-Residence, who becomes a virtual companion--both in print and on video--as students make their way through the history of their country. Many of the lessons in the Student Edition are supported by questions and activities in the History Notebook that go beyond typical comprehension questions about facts and dates. The History Notebook focuses on helping students grapple with meaningful questions about history and then to see how those historical events and ideas are relevant for them today.
