This book covers one pocket each for:
1) Introduction to Explorers of North America
2) Christopher Colombus
3) John Cabot
4) Hernando Cortes
5) Jacques Cartier
6) Sir Francis Drake
7) Henry Hudson
8) Daniel Boone
9) James Cook
10) Lewis and Clark
11) John Wesley Powell.
Each pocket also touches on a couple of other "explorer related" topics such as navigational tools, hardtack, sea chests, journals, weather reports, mutiny, and so on. There are art/craft projects, writing projects, maps, bacground information, and much more - and it is all reproducible.
This is a topic that is often overlooked and for which it can be very difficult to find good materials, but this book does a fabulous job covering it!! It is can be used to do an entire unit/notebook/lapbook on explorers of North America, and the pockets can just as easily be used on their own if you are only studying one of these men.
