 | It was okay May 20, 2007 |
While the History Pocket books are great for making a book, they are a little boring by themselves. There is too much coloring and not enough learning. We have learned more by reading library books, the encyclopedia, watching an educational show, or talking about the subjects.
When we purchased these, I liked the idea. But, after wasting a lot of our homeschool day with the children coloring (by day 3, coloring had turned into scribbles) I decided to use these as supplemental activities. We read and do art projects. We talk about the subjects.
My kids liked this HP the best, and actually did quite a few of the activities from it. I found it is best used at the end of the day, so if they spend a lot of time on it, it's okay.
We have several of the HP products. Now, we let the kids chose which ones looked "fun", and skip the rest.
While it is nice to have a book to look at afterwards, I feel they do not serve a great purpose. (And they are a waste of printer paper and ink.) They are nice if you need a "work sample" for school, but I feel they are just "busy work". History can be learned in much more interesting ways. | | |  | HPs are always fun and full of quality activities that my boys enjoy Sep 8, 2006 |
| I really like the History Pockets series - they're wonderful. And, this book is quite good and full of a variety of age appropriate activities that my boys really enjoyed. However, I question how some of the tribes were selected; specifically, the Seminoles of the Southeast Region. While the HP units can stand alone quite well as a unit study, I like to complement them with additional information and activities for my boys. I found it particularly difficult to find any complementary information/activities for the Seminoles. I think the Cherokee tribe would have been a much better choice. The same holds true for the Maidu tribe of the Californias - very limited information available to supplement. Also, I wish that this book had included tribes for the Great Basin and the Sub-Arctic regions. To include these two areas would make this unit completely comprehensive and thorough. Nonetheless, it is a good resource to have and follow as part of an early elementary study on Native Americans. | | |  | Incredible! Aug 17, 2006 |
I purchsed this book for a unit study of Native Americans for my second grader and it is worth it's weight in gold! When I received it I wanted to start on it immediately (but we have to wait until September!) This book covers various tribes throughout Northern American with text discussing life relating to each tribe.
Children make a pocket (folder) from large sized construction paper relating to each specific tribe. Within each section of the book a tribe is covered with special information about tribal life. It includes cut and paste activities to complete and place in each folder.
History pockets could stand alone as a unit study for 1st-3rd graders, but could certainly be expounded upon with additional reading and activities.
