Good history plays,
By A Customer
This review is from: 10 American History Plays for the Classroom (Grades 4-8) (Paperback)
This book is a nice collection of plays from American history, starting with the explorers going through to 1900s. It is best suited for grades 4-6, but I have successfully used these plays with 7th grade.

A Great Resource!,
By Susan F. Ludwig (mathteacher2000@hotmail.com) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 10 American History Plays for the Classroom (Grades 4-8) (Paperback)
This is an extremely helpful book. The American History plays are perfect for middle school students, and can be used as part of a unit. I'd recommend this to use for both in-classroom plays and those for the entire school to view.
