Hello parents, In this 45-minute live class, your learner will discover the remarkable story about the Louis Braille, a blind boy who made a way to read. In a casual lecture-style class, the student will engage in an opening game. In the introductory section, we will learn how Louis Braille became blind, overcame obstacles of that era for an education and how he provided a way for the sight-impaired to read freely. The main part of the class will give an overview of Louis Braille’s life in a simple outline form. The learner will be able to follow along easily as they Teacher's notes will be shared via slides. Lastly, we will discuss Braille's action plan. They will identify with the character traits that forged his accomplishments and future legacy. The students will discuss what they would do the same or differently. Then, they will incorporate what character traits they want to implement to face and overcome their own struggles. No prior information is required to understand and engage in this class material.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hey, Thank you for dropping by! I am Teacher Rachel from Sunny Florida, USA!
I have a BA in Education from Baptist College of Florida and half-way through my Master's degree. I love learning and sharing what inspires me. Thus- Teaching!!!!
I have been teaching for the last two decades. First, I have taught internationally for six years at a University in China. Ni Hao!!! There I taught American Culture, American and World History, and American and British Literature. Then, I taught history to Junior High students. We embarked on hands-on activities and engaged in multi-media lessons, while thinking critically about historic characters and events. Lastly, since being married and having a son, I have delved into the home-school way of life, teaching at co-ops, and via on-line classes. Learning should be fun, engaging and applicable. If your child is bored, I am not teaching it right because we will be walking along side some VERY interesting characters. My first set of courses will be on the children/tweens who have changed the world. I cannot wait to see you there!!Reviews
