Card Pockets for lapbooking,notebooking, etc.

We're delving into history around here, and I want a way to keep up with events of history that don't include a bulky or boring timeline. I thought I'd design some card pockets that can be used in a lapbook or notebook, with one era per book. So we're starting with the dawn of civilization, we'll have a lapbook titled "Dawn of Civiliation" or perhaps "4th Century B.C." - I haven't totally decided yet.

Inside, I'll put these pockets, and we can write down the appropriate people, places and things then file them in their pockets. This way, we'll have all of one era contained in one space, and divided by topic.

Directions: This file contains 2 blank pockets and 8 pre-printed ones, sized for standard 3x5 inde cards. Print only the pages you want. I recommend printing on card stock so that the pockets will be stiff. These pockets are designed to expand - print and cut out along the outer black lines, then fold on the black lines touching the inner rectangle, as well as the dashed lines. You want the tabs to form a "V" underneath the pocket, with the point of the "V" resting under the pocket, pointing toward the middle. Glue or tape only the outer edge of each tab.

Notebooking Page: Cuneiform Writing

We're going to be starting in on Mesopotamia, the Fertile Crescent and all that early history this coming week here at our house. I want to cover cuneiform with the kids, and of course that led me right to the design table!

Notebooking Page: Century Timeline

Here's a page for doing a one century timeline. There isn't much room in each block, so you would only have enough space to make a brief note of one or two important things for that year. The page has 100 blocks, enough for each year of one century:
