We have started our final section of Sonlight American History.
I created a new free lapbook download~
Pearl Harbor Lapbook
Update: I’ve broken the above lapbook file into 3 smaller files for easier downloads:
Pearl Harbor Lapbook
The Pearl Harbor Lapbook includes:
- 19 page download with …
- lapbook organizer with hyperlinks for each section to original websites
- Vocabulary and definitions with several activities such as a crossword puzzle, word search and match words with meanings
- Detailed (even minute-by-minute!) timeline
- Battleships, Cruisers & Destroyers minibooks
- Map of harbor to identify ships
- What happened? with 3 photos to examine, discuss and describe
- Oral history and survivor reports from a nurse, a sailor and a lieutenant commander to read, discuss and summarize
- Aftermath of Pearl Harbour with photo and info
- History Notebook Pages in 3 variations
This lapbook is for upper middle schoolers (for 10 – 12 year olds) but can be adapted for younger middle schoolers or extended for junior high students.
I suggested several alternative activities and introduced some advanced skills like ~
- summarizing reports
- making inferences
- coming to conclusions
- consequences to events
- characteristics of heroes
- write newspaper report
- create an interview
- give a radio report
With this in mind, I’m sure my 12-year-old will combine minibooks on the notebook pages, rather than do a lapbook.
If you download and use this lapbook, please feel free to comment here and share your photos and stories!
Blessings,

We are living on Hickam Air Force Base next to Pearl Harbor and plan to participate in the 70th anniversary ceremonies. This is a great preparation so my kids can understand what they are witnessing. Thanks so much!

Thank you for the files, but the second edition is damaged and we cannot download it at all. Can u advise? Thanks so much. I love your site and appreciate your purpose.
@Holly, Thanks for the heads-up! I’ve re-loaded all the pdf files and checked them. They all seem fine. If you still can’t download them, just contact me and I’ll email you the files.
