A couple of ideas...First, I put the kids in three groups and each are responsible for researching and presenting information on their "region" for the class. We brainstorm a list of possible ways to do it (skits, trifold, brochure, mobiles, ect...and each person in the group creates something to share).

In Reading Workshop, we do Reader's Theater with Read-Aloud Plays: Colonial America, by Marci Applebaum. The kids like these and we do them in place of Read Aloud for a week.
