The Photography and LIteracy
(PAL) Program (25 images including maps)
A unique visual literacy/language arts curriculum developed
specifically for the multicultural images in the KATW series
- but applicable to all visual arts. Utilizing images of children
from over 20 countries (including China,Cambodia, France, Uganda,
Nicaragua, England and Australia), the PAL questions - and answers
- effortlessly lead students to different cultures, countries
- and core-curriculum subjects. It's not just a curriculum -
it's the world.
We highly recommend this educational package as a precursor
to all KATW educational programs.

A PAL Program (32 images including maps)
Ian seems like an ordinary 11 year-old boy, but students
will be astounded to see his house - or um, cave. On this photo-journey,
students visit an extraordinary environment - an arid desert
community with as many cultural and geographical differences
(luxury caves with indoor swimming pools) as startling similarities
(you have to vacume your cave!).

and PAL curriculum to incorporate:
Subjects - Visual Literacy, Language Arts, Social Studies,
Geography, Arts/Humanities, Science/Technology,
Lesson Plan ideas and student activities -
math, science, art/design

"The students were literally
jumping out of their seats to ask and answer questions. Outside
the classroom, students raved about this program. They talked
extensively about it with their parents at home. One parent arranged
to view the program, and another came to my office and thanked
me for his daughter’s exposure to this experience.”
- Donna DeGennaro, PhD, Assistant Professor of
Educational Technology, Montclair University,
implemented the programs at Springside School, Philadelphia
