Have you used these? How? I know that sounds ridiculous but I can't figure out how to assemble them. Do they make a "book" at the end? Help a newbie out :)

History Odyssey used to schedule them in their level 2 Ancients.  It was their scheduling that made us hate them.  LOL  I kept the printables, though, to do the projects individually.  They don't make a book, per se, but they do create pocket pages you can insert into a binder or put together with rings.  We found it easier the second book to skip the pocket making and use clear page protectors for each pocket.

I didn't like the pockets so I had my daughter put her work in a binder.  I used page protectors and it turned out really nice.  I had to resize a few things to make them fit correctly, but I like the binder more than I would have liked the pockets.

They make a book.  The pocket for each section (folded over 11x18 construction paper) holds the crafts/activities for that section.  When you are finished, you can bind the pockets together as a book, with a cover sheet.

 

I have one kid who loves history pockets, one who hates them.  We have used a few, and are working through the Native American set right now.

Nice tip, thanks!

We used these: http://www.amazon.com/Oxford-Eight-Pocket-Organizer-Embossed-99656/dp/B001TQ814G  (but they were only $2 when we bought them) or just attached some regular folders together in the same way (inner ones inside out).
