I had a history teacher break our class up into groups each doing a project on a separate faction of World War 1.
We each had to argue why our group did NOT cause the war, and as a class try and determine who we thought caused it.
It was such a clever way of presenting such a critical and complex period of time to a bunch of otherwise disengaged public school kids. The teacher essentially made it a seminar, which was pretty big gamble because, well, teenagers. The lack of dictated narrative was influential as all hell.
