This review is from: History Pockets: Ancient Greece (Paperback)

I procrastinated months before buying this product, saying, "I can do this myself, I don't need everything planned out for me." Yes you CAN search the Internet and photocopy pages from library books and make your own lapbooks/history pockets, but most teachers/homeschoolers have very full plates and it is MUCH easier to use these history pockets as the basis for your project and then supplement with other stuff.

After I relented and purchased the Ancient Greece history pockets, I couldn't believe how easily the project fell into place, after weeks of neglect. You - and your kids - will be very pleased with the informative and interesting results.

I also purchased the Greek Myths literature pockets and am very pleased with those too.

Also, for what it's worth, my kids are in 1st & 2nd grade, more or less, not the 4-6 that is recommended for these pockets. So the pockets have appeal for a broad range of ages.

On the other hand, I did find it necessary to do a fair amount of prep work for them - photocopying the pages and cutting out some of the projects. If they were a couple of years older, the history pockets could have been done independently.

This is an excellent resource for teachers and parents who are schooling their child at home. Each history pockets set has a lot of information. In this case the topic is Greece. You will find art ideas and templates for various activities about Greece. In one you might color and cut out various columns so you can understand the difference between the three main types of columns- doric, ionic and corinthian. There are drawings of famous Greeks that you color and cut out and read about. You will also learn a little bit about Greek mythology when you are working through this book. This is a great series and an excellent resource to use when trying to expand your Greek lesson plans.

Worth every penny.
Enjoy.

I used this to suppliment another world history curriculum with my kindergardener and 4th grader. My little guy couldn't do everything, but he enjoyed the things he did. They both loved it. They are proud of the "books" that they each made. I will try their other products.
