I taught 7th grade history, which is also Texas history, and here's what I did. I'm sure it could be modified for 4th.
I had groups of 4, and each group had to research an explorer, write a short paper, make a map of where he explored, and do a presentation. I let them choose how to do their presentation, but for 4th you might want to make it more specific: a play, orally present the paper, etc. I included specific things I wanted them to learn about the explorer: Where he went, what his goals were, what he accomplished.
