My 9 yo son did notebooking, while the 8 yo did a lapbook. We got the lapbooking print-outs from Fortunately for You Revolutionary War Mini-Book and A Journey Through Learning’s “An Overview of the 18th Century.”

Is this A Journey Through Learning’s 19th Century Lapbook or their Revolutionary War Lapbook. I am having a hard time choosing between the two. I will be covering both but would like to go into the Revolutionary War in more detail. Just curious if you remember which product you purchased.
We got the lapbooking print-outs from A Journey Through Learning’s “An Overview of the 18th Century.” Also from Fortunately For You books: http://www.currclick.com/product/28940/Revolutionary-War-Mini-Lapbook?affiliate_id=21333 (affiliate link) Have fun!
