All American History - Unit One Exploration



We are using All American History for our history spine this year. I followed the author's suggestion for review flashcards. To keep all the cards manageable and easy to study, I made pockets using "Type It In" from Hands of a Child and glued them into a folder. (middle photo)

Each pocket is titled with the name of a country who sent explorers. Each pocket contains these cards: (top photo)
1. Name of explorer with his picture
2. Description from the book
3. A small map of his explorations (free from Enchanted Learning)
4. A copy of the flag of the country he represented

Some pockets have more cards because those countries had more explorers.

This makes reviewing easier. If I had to pull the cards out of box, I just might not do it. This folder sits with the rest of our history books and is easy to pull out for a quick review.
