"Marco Polo Contoversy" does indeed breed interest. You could also try this in the form of a web quest. After mapping Marco Polo's journey and discussing the different positions divide students in to groups, give them guiding questions, a position, and a list of websites they can use to gather information. After organizing their information have a classroom debate. This can be used to meet not only history standards but the LA standards of research, identifying the author's perspective and persuasion.
