OUR COMMUNITY OF WORKERS COLORING BOOK
Unions and schools throughout the US have used this coloring book’s 28 line drawings by Marilyn Anderson to introduce young people to workers doing a wide range of jobs described in the captions.
A companion handbook contains work-related exercises for students from pre-kindergarten to middle school. The exercises help young people develop word skills, language skills and spelling skills and focus students’ attention on aspects of the world of work. Exercises include: WorkSearches: finding names of occupations imbedded in grids of letters WorkNames: defining occupations identified in common last names WorkWords: correctly spelling occupational descriptors; finding words using letters contained in an occupational descriptor Work Exercises: identifying jobs that must be done to support the work of depicted occupations; identifying the occupation titles and roles of workers in schools; talking to workers about their jobs; identifying jobs that can be done alone and others that require teamwork Work Safety: Matching specific jobs to specific safety gear List of coloring book illustrations:
