The purpose of the present study was to propose effective teaching practices for nurturing citizenship in Home Economics Classes. Thirty-five senior high school students watched the films “Food, Inc.” and “Black Gold” in a Home Economics class and recorded their thoughts about the films. After verifying differences in the student responses, four categories were determined which were then assigned points: recognition of issues was assigned four points, understanding of relationships three points, comprehension two points, and emotional responses one point. The average for “Food, Inc.” was 2.1 points, and the average for “Black Gold” was 2.4 points: t (34) = 1.92, p <0.01. By comparing lesson plans that presented criterion referenced evaluations for the different viewpoints, the results indicated differences in the lesson plans for watching “Food, Inc.” and “Black Gold”. These differences included student interest, willingness, and attitude towards Home Economics, as well as life skills.
