Class Experience

Lesson 1: Students will be able to highlight important data about the life of Helen Keller and the significance she still has in our lives today.
We will have a discussion on the importance of Helen Keller beginning from her early and dark years. We will discuss her family and acknowledge the similarities and differences of her family vs. our family. The class will be directed to a quick video of who she was and the impact she has left in our country today.

Lesson 2: Students will be able to explore how Helen Keller is later given a "ray of hope".  They will be introduced to the life of Annie Sullivan. Your child will receive a short "sign language" class and simple introduction to braille. Students will participate in a discussion, as well as, a game to identify words thru braille and sign language. 

Lesson 3: Students will be able to interpret some braille words, practice sign language and display their knowledge of who Helen was and the legacy she has left behind. They will be given the opportunity to design a presentation of all the information and share with the class. (If they feel comfortable)

Learning Goals

Students will improve their understanding of the life of Helen Keller and realize the importance of determination and perseverance.

I am to provide them a safe and positive environment while discussing important subjects.
