This Curriculum Unit includes 34 lesson plans to accompany the inaugural exhibit, Ansel Adams CALIFORNIA. The purpose of this curriculum unit is to provide 4th grade teachers and students with interesting and informative lesson plans, so students can learn more about Ansel Adams and the subjects he chose to photograph during his remarkable career. He was concerned about many important topics during his lifetime that are still relevant today. This unit is divided into eight sections to complement the exhibit: California, Yosemite, WWII Japanese-American Internment, Water, Farming, Conservation, Geology, and Memorabilia.
