Never really had a history class that I enjoyed, so I can't help you with that.
I actually liked my econ class, not because the subject was that great, but because the teacher made it fairly easy to learn and very interesting. He was in his 50's or so, and had worked in nearly every field imaginable, so he could always come up with many examples and demonstrate economic principles using real-world situations that we were all familiar with.
I would assume the same would apply to history--make it something the kids can relate to somehow, by applying it to the real world.
