This movie, Story of Stuff, is just exactly what I would like to view with my children. I am thinking of a unit study about it - an immersion and have it as spine in learning about the earth today, science, health, economy, and environment. I have started exploring the site and looking for the recommended materials. Maybe, we can make a scrapbook/lapbook about it. What better way to do this than to have it as a family lapbook so we can contribute our ideas and make one big book. Hmmm, not a bad idea.
So, I am currently on the look out for cliparts, minibooks, articles, other sites on this topic. I am pretty sure this would hold my children's interest for a long time and I hope it will make a lasting impression on them.
We watched that a few months ago and decided to weigh our trash for two weeks. It was really interesting how we automatically started recycling better so that our trash would weigh less. It has stuck with us too. Look forward to seeing what you guys do.
