The Boston Tea Party, A Play
If you teach about the Road to Revolution in your class, this is a great way to get your students involved and engaged when you reach the Tea Act of 1773 and the Boston Tea Party 1773.Having students reenact history is an excellent way for them to "experience" what events were like. This is a great example. This play was written using eyewitness accounts and other excellent sources including information from the Boston Tea Party museum. If ever in Boston it is a must do!

Choosing Sides, Loyalist or Patriot?
The decision to support the British Crown or the American rebels in the Revolution was not an easy one with clear bad guys and good guys. This exercise introduces students to eight fictional colonists with different identities and factors which cause them to lean in one way or another. Students will weigh the factors for each individual and place him or her on a political spectrum. They will also think and write critically about the role these factors play on a person's political identity.

Industrial Revolution, Robert Owen the "Enlightened Industrialist", A Play
If your classroom is like mine, you believe learning is best by doing. Using plays, simulations and reenactments allows students to experience their learning targets/objectives. Plus, it is fun!
I use this play during an Industrial Revolution unit in my economics class. I use it to supplement what we are learning at that time. It takes about 10-15 minutes for the whole activity, including the discussion. It is a great way to learn about some of the revolutionary changes occurring at that time.
