Our answer? We get students and parents involved in the learning process with: Family Movie Night! Here's how it works: As we begin a teaching unit or textbook chapter, we find movies from our lists that we (a) don't have time to show in class but (b) believe would benefit our students' understanding of the subject matter. Using our classroom web pages or blogs, under a "Family Movie Night" subject heading, we link directly to these books, films, and documentaries (individual review web pages). Our families can then click on a link, read a brief review, and select a film. The results are astounding. Parents get to help their children learn while eating popcorn and enjoying a great film (even if the parents know next to nothing about the social studies course content). Example: Olivia was studying the history of China in the 1900s.
