The exhibition In Focus: The Worker presents more than 40 photographs that capture workers from a variety of trades, from coal miner to astronaut.
Use the lesson "What Is Work and Who Are the Workers?" with your beginning-level students to analyze depictions of workers in two photographs. Students will then conduct an interview with a family member and create an original photograph or drawing about work.
