Crowdsourcing your favorite geography lessons.

First, I thought I'd quickly introduce myself. I currently teach 7th grade World Geography at a middle school in Minot, North Dakota. There are 18 of us in the world geography ning -- so far! Whoo Hoo! I thought it might be interesting and fun to begin a "sharing" discussion. What is the most successful and inspiring geography lesson you have implemented that you would be willing to share with others?
