History News

Split the class into groups of four or five. Give each group a historical event to report on. They then put together a T.V. type news show, complete with relevant commercials, sports, weather, interviews, etc. For instance, a group doing the Boston Tea Party might develop a commercial about a new and improved tea that would resist salt-water damage. The sports segment could feature crate throwing as a sport, while the weather forecast might suggest good tea-throwing weather.
