Homeschool busy work ...that I like.
Derived From Web , Jul 29, 2021
We homeschool using the CM method with literature-based history reading. This is not the curriculum. It is a light addition, an easy filler activity that children enjoy. Aka is busy with work. We love it for what it is meant and its limitations. The kids can hear our read Alouds while coloring, sticking and pasting. We involve our children 2+ in this, as they can stay busy and feel included. We also use the timeline images and copy them on sticker paper so that we can add them directly to the timeline books we use with CM. I don 't like that I have to copy from the book to prevent destroying other pages for the next unit. I wanted to have something that I didn 't have to copy and just have a consumable.

My kids LOVED this!
Derived From Web , Jun 9, 2021
I loved it with third graders and used it. The writing was just the right reading level, and the four vocabulary words for reading each civilization were perfect for an end-of-the-year project. We spent about four days on each civilization, reading, vocabulary, post cards, and one of the other projects in each section. I used 11 x 17 paper, folding the bottom about 5.5 inches deep. I added the sides and punched a cover sheet and binder rings. I had the kids gluing along the sides of each pocket to make the finished briefcases, and then followed the project as written from there. Will definitely do this again in 1210.

Good content but double-sided printed copy is a nuisance
Derived From Web , Dec 4, 2020
As other reviews mentioned, the double-sided printing is really annoying. I thought I would be ok with it, but it was really just a hassle when compared to the e-book version on the publisher's website. The e-book was a little less than the printed copy and could be printed on singles at home. Even if I were a teacher using this for my class, I would have preferred single pages to make photocopying simpler. Even though grouping together all the reproducible pages would have been a better move. However, messing with this paperback - double-sided copy takes time away from actually executing the activities. Someone mentioned printing multiple copies of the paperback, but buying the e-book on single pages is an even easier and faster way to go, in my opinion.

Could use better formatting
Derived From Web , Aug 12, 2020
I like this series of the workbooks. The book, however, assumes that the person using it is a teacher with access to a photocopier. The activities, instructions and information are all printed on the same page. For example, one of the activities that involves cutting a part of the page will be printed on the front of the paper and the instructions for the next activity will be printed on the back. This series of books is often recommended in homeschooling groups, but not everyone has access to a printer or a photocopier to reproduce the pages. Be aware of this flaw just before purchasing.

You MUST scan and print pages to complete activities
Derived From Web , Mar 27, 2020
I bought the physical copy of the book instead of the ebook direct from Evan Moor, because I am only using 1 student and I wanted to be able to use the pages and not use ink and paper printing out of every activity. Well, this book is published so that you must actually reproduce the pages to do the activities. If you don 't, you will cut the activities or the instructions on the back side of every page. I return and purchase the ebook because scanning and printing every page is NOT the easy implementation I wanted from a physical book.

Great for younger grades and hands on kids
Derived From Web , Dec 18, 2019
This was great for my children the first year we did the home school. I had a 3rd, 2nd and 1st grader who loved it. Story of the World was just a little over their heads, with help from the gist and I liked it, but they actually learned quite a bit and we reviewed vocabulary quite a lot. My kids still can point the 3 different types of columns and identify them all the time. My children do love to color and do crafts, that is their thing. My fifth grader did not love it, but he is not into coloring and crafts. In all, it is fantastic for younger students.

Don't give into homeschool FOMO
Derived From Web , May 1, 2018
I bought this because I thought it would provide some cool activities to go with our Curriculum for the World. I wanted to give the History Pocket series a chance so that I would know what we would be missing if anything. I usually like Evan Moor Products as supplements to our main Curriculums or for Vacation Work. '' While the information is good, the activities seem to be a little on the busy side and require quite a low level of thinking. A lot of coloring and cutting, crafty-type projects. When you use a solid history curriculum like Story of the World, Narrative, Discussions, WaldorfCM type map work and a few additional readings, activities and field trips will suffice. In my opinion, no need for this kind of complex work makes learning inefficient and shallow.

Fail
Derived From Web , Jan 3, 2018
I see that I am in the minority when I say : I hate this book! It is Loathe. Every time I get it out for lessons, it makes me ragey, so that I ditched it today. It is educational work with very little busy value. I think what made it the most frustrating is that you have to reference constantly other pages to know what to do and copy it, so I had to take the pages out so that 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 in your classroom. It was an epic failure for us.
