History Pockets Ancient Egypt Grades 46+ Evan Moor Books Reviews

• I purchased this for my 3rd and 5th grade homeschoolers to use with the “A World of Adventure” unit study curriculum. My boys really enjoyed making the pockets, which I think have a good amount of information for elementary grades. Some of the pockets have more cutting/pasting involved than others, but I cut theirs out the night before and had all materials together to speed the process along. Overall, I feel it is a really, good buy.
• This is a neat way to introduce Egypt to your child. The thing i found to be bizarre was that in some areas, it seemed too advanced (like when it discussed the burial process) but mostly a little young for the ages listed on the cover. Maybe that's just how studies of Egypt go? You can't really study it without having to deal with some heavy content, so attempting to make it more childlike and silly with crafts and such seems a little bizarre. But I still recommend this if you're looking for a hands on approach for your older little kids. Mine are 9 and 12. My 12 year old wouldn't like this stuff, while my 9 yr old will enjoy the crafts but hate some of the content.
• I love the History Pockets books! I teach 6th grade Ancient Civilizations to heterogenous classes. These books are fantastic at getting the kids interested in the content. I haven't used many of the activities from the books, but I've used some of the ideas for the activities to create my own. I've used the readings themselves for stations and other activities and they are perfect for struggling readers, but not too simplified for the on grade level and higher kids. The readings also touch on many of the important aspects of the content and are great for introducing the information. I can't write enough to say how much I love these books even if you don't use them to make "pockets." )
• I am a first year homeschooling mom with sixth and third graders. I purchased the History pockets Ancient Eqypt for 4-6 grade, Ancient Greece 4-6, Ancient Rome 4-6 and the Ancient Civilizations for 2-3 grade. I have been able to teach both children simultaneously using these resources along with extra reading materials found at our local library. The Ancient civilizations pocket starts with Mesopotamia and then moves on to Egypt, Greece, and Rome. Where the Ancient Civilizations pocket gives an overview of each subject suitable for the third grade level, the 4-6 grade pockets are more in depth. I have adjusted my lesson to satisfy the needs of both of my children(which by the way love history)while also including biblical studies - Abraham was from Ur in Mesopotamia, Joseph in the Pharoh's house, Moses and the exodus from Egypt, etc. The pockets offer hands on craft and learning projects that made the subject interesting for both. Once we complete the study on Egypt, I will be starting the Ancient Greece pocket with my sixth grader to tie in with the next lesson in the Ancient Civilizations pocket - Greece. The pockets have been an excellent addition to our history lessons.
• Bought this as part of the homeschool curriculum for my 3rd grade daughter. We have not made use of it yet but I have perused the instructions and projects and this appears to be a great way to learn about Ancient Egypt. She has seen some of the projects as well and wanted to get started on it NOW. If your child enjoys crafting or is more of a hands-on learner this is a wonderful resource. Ordered used, it came in really great shape.
• I've been impressed by the content of the 3 "History Pockets" books we've used in our homeschool (Ancient Civilizations, Ancient Egypt, and Ancient Greece). I think they would be really helpful for visual and tactile learners. Unfortunately, my DD hated all the cutting & pasting involved. She found it to be busywork.
  
  I would recommend the "History Pockets" to students who don't mind all the prep work involved in making the folders/lapbook.
• Good resource. Lots of pieces to keep track of. Students enjoyed parts of the work. The reading informational part was a nice change for students from our regular text book. Served as a good supplement for information.
