When i was in fifth grade my teacher taught us history in one of the most amazing and fun ways ever. There is a place in virginia called colonial williamsburg. Its really hard to explain. which is why i'll give you the website so you can check it out:
www.history.org
And what it is is a place where people now have made the whole area look like the colonial times in the 1800s.
Its really awesome. And so in fifth grade we would watch videos of actual films they have made in williamsburg about things that happened during that time period. for example one time we watched a video about the slavery times and how cruel they were to the slaves and how dangerous it was to escape for a slave. They are also really big about the first settlements like Jamestown and stuff like that. If you visit williamsburg now, there are different places that you can see and talk to the people that work there that are all in colonial clothing and they take you around the "colonies" to show you what the past was like. It's super educational and you learn a lot from the past.
I hope this is getting through you guys. Check out the website. You'll be surprised how well they have made the whole place and how real it looks.i've never had more fun learning about history.
