Needing some Help!

Help! Next year I will be teaching American History for the 1st time in a high school resource room setting. All the information I gained from this course has been very helpful, just a little too high functioning for my students. I'm sure I will be able to use a lot of it, like the primary sources, with a little modification. Does anyone teach history at the elementary level who can give me some suggestions on teaching this subject or have any cool projects/assignments to share? Anything would be extremely helpful. Thanks!! -Amanda-
