The Education Packet is divided into three units covering Frank Lloyd Wright, the Dana-Thomas House, and the art glass designs of Wright. The materials are designed to serve as an introduction to Wright’s work and the Dana-Thomas House, prior to visiting the site. The units are best presented in three separate lessons. However, other presentations, based on the needs of the audience, could also be designed. Users are free to copy any and all pages in the Education Packet. Some of the materials might be useful for follow-up activities after the visit.
