What I like to do is home interviews.  The students take home a list of questions to interview a family member or adult friend about a topic like "What did you like to do when you were six years old?"  or "What did you do with your grandparents when you were small?"  It stimulates a discussion of family history and gives the younger generation a perspective on societal changes in the past generation.  It also helps the parents feel important in the school's eyes.

Then when they bring back the answers (give them a week to do it), they can make a book, drawing pictures and writing a few sentences on each page, comparing their life with the person they interviewed.
