FIRST LOOK AT CAREERS

Featuring the charming characters who appear in the Children’s Dictionary of Occupations, these two videos provide an appealing introduction to the work world by sampling occupations from airline pilot to zoologist. Colorful animation and live-action footage combine to give students a taste of occupational choices. For each job, the program describes what the workers do, the tools and equipment they use, their work environment, and special training needed. Grades 3–6. Color. 16 minutes each. Meridian. ©1992.
