Don't give into homeschool FOMO

Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2018

Verified Purchase

I bought this because I thought it would provide some fun activities to go along with our Story of the World curriculum. I wanted to give the History Pocket series a chance so I would know in the future what, if anything, we would be missing (homeschool FOMO if you will). I usually like Evan Moor products as supplements to our main curriculums or for vacation/morning work. While the information is good, the activities seem a bit on the busy-work side and require pretty low level thinking. Alot of coloring and cutting, crafty-type projects. If you are using a solid history curriculum such as Story of the World, narration, discussions, Waldorf/CM type map work and a few additional readings, activities and field trips will suffice. No need for this type of busy work - in my opinion, it makes learning inefficient and shallow.

Fail

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2018

I see I’m in the minority when I say I hate this book! Loathe it. Every time I get it out for lessons it makes me ragey so today I ditched it. It’s busywork with very little educational value. We learn more from reading and studying maps and watching documentaries. I think what made it most frustrating is that you have to constantly reference other pages to know what to do, and to copy it I had to take the pages out so I have clumps of paper clipped pages falling out every which way. Bravo Zulu to you if you have the patience and attention span to implement this in your homeschool or classroom. It was an epic fail for us.

An easy way to multisensory dimention to your history lesson

Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2018

Verified Purchase

Sure, you could probably dig through Pintrest for most of these sorts of activities, but I think the convenience of the book makes the price wholly reasonable. As secular homeschoolers following Well Trained mind, I decided to just use the encyclopedias and other books to teach ancient history for 1st grade. Mostly, we were reading whatever caught his fancy at bedtime from the encyclopedias. I was noticing that there wasnt much order and I thought adding these simple hands on bits would tie together all that we have talked about this year. As a first grader, I am reading and pointing out the definitions for my son. He seems to really enjoy 20 or 30 minutes of this light work to break up the harder work of reading lessons and math lessons. Its a bit annoying for a homeschool mom of 1 that the whole book is printed duplex which necessitated a trip to the library to make copies of the pages I needed to have a blank back but it wasnt a deal breaker. For these early years, history is about exposure and exploration. This material helps do that. We also added little things like trying to write cuniform in Plah Doh, building a ziggarat out of Magformers, and a few videos from YouTube. Along with the pride of making his very own history book, my son seems to.recall the concepts better for later after doing these activities. He has ADHD, so the multi sensory activities really help. He can color while I read. He is especially proud of the puppets!! If youre too busy to build all the multisensory options from scartch or dont want to cobble them together from Pinterest, you will probably enjoy this workbook. Just know youre going to need to make some copies.

You MUST scan and print pages to complete activities

Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2020

Verified Purchase

I purchased the physical copy of the book instead of the ebook direct from Evan Moor because I am only using with 1 student and I wanted to be able to just use the pages and not use up ink and paper printing out every activity. Well, this book is set up so you MUST actually reproduce the pages to do the activities. If you don't, you cut up the activities or instructions on the back side of every page. I will be returning and purchasing the ebook because scanning and printing every page is NOT the easy implementation I wanted from a physical book.

Could use better formatting

Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2020

Verified Purchase

I like this series of workbooks. The activities are short and fun and the information is presented in a way that would be easily digested by my second grader.
However, the book assumes that the person using it is a teacher with access to a photocopier. So the activities, instructions, and information are all printed on the same page. For example, one of the activities that involve cutting out part of the page will be printed on the front of the paper and instructions for the next activity will be printed on the back. If you use the activity as directed, you destroy the instructions for the next activity.

This series of books is often recommended in homeschooling groups but not everyone has access to a printer or photocopier to "reproduce" the pages. It would be beneficial if the manufacturer printed each activity on its own separate page for easy access.

Just be aware of this flaw before purchasing.

To supplement our history lessons, I included History Pockets: Ancient Civilizations, Grades 1-3 as part of our social studies lessons. The activity book covers history, Ancient Mesopotamia, Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, Ancient China, and the Ancient Aztec World. Each section contains a reproducible pocket label, four picture dictionary words, a fact sheet of background information for the teacher, a reproducible student information booklet complete with illustrations, a postcard of a famous monument, two puppets to show the clothing, arts and crafts projects, and writing activities. My daughter and I completed each section over one or two days with a culminating portfolio to show her study of ancient civilizations.

Lovely activities to make with children aged 5 to 9 years-old. My children were very proud of their history pockets and took them to school for show and tell.

I've used this along side some other history material for homeschooling. It's great for ideas and crafts. The kids love it and their history books are suddenly very colourful and crafty!

It was a great resource for giving my grade fours an overview of Ancient Civilizations.

The writing level of the pockets was perfect for grade four students and it provided them with the main ideas about all six ancient civilizations.

I cant say enough good things about this book! There are wonderful and engaging exercises and projects, clear information. It has saved our social studies curriculum. You do need to photocopy the pages so they are on one side only, but then the book can be reused for other students. The end result is a very nice, colorful project! Fantastic.
