well, i'm a history geek, so anything will pretty much whet my appetite, though i had this awesome lecture teacher once, he had a really dry voice, yet somehow was never boring, to anyone, even those who dislike history fell in love with this guy and his methods. so do exactly that. jk. um...dressing up like famous people and giving monologues explaining who you are what you did, etc. kids usually get a kick out of that. or maybe some kind of competition as you learn kind of dealie, like if you're studying westward expansion in the 19th century, set the kids up in groups where their group has a covered wagon they have to get to california and figure out active exploratory stuff that a group can win at, thus moving their wagon further along the trail, trying to get there before everyone else. that might not translate well into high school, seeing as it was my 4th grade teacher who did it, but hey, if i still remember it 9 years later, it must've been pretty rad. giblfiz has a good idea with the economics game, they did it at my school, but it was set up way differently, but everyone totally loved it. um...yeah, that's all i got.
