For S.S. Methods class we had to write a paper about the best social studies lesson ever, but I am going to put a few more down here that I remembered, just in case I forget them. It was hard to choose just one, but I finally decided on the "Favorite Student's Bill of Rights" as it was a great lesson that didn't happen in the classroom which I think is a little unique : )
Hard Tack - Mr. Perfors made and brought it into class for us to eat...I'll never forget how it tasted (like home-made play doh)
WWI deomonstration - Mr. Kipp put us into groups that simulated WWI beginning, and we had a few days to run our countries etc. and then after we played, we discussed what we did, learning that our reactions were really close to those of the actual countries!
Sharing Songs - Mr. Gorr had us all choose a song, and for several class periods we would listen to someone's song and go over the lyrics. He was promoting acceptance, and we all learned a lot about each other, even though it was a simple thing.
I have more...and when I think of them, and have time, I'll keep putting them up here : )
