Our Helen Keller Unit Study

We had so much fun learning about Helen Keller.
I cut poster board 12x24 so there was 3-12"
panels to put the finished activities for the lessons.
Above is the Cover. It displays the covers of the books read,
the movie we watched, pics of the cooking lesson.
and a copy of a rare pic of Helen and Anne.


On the inside panel on the left we diagrammed the parts of the
eye and on the inside wrote about 3 common eye disorders.
Below that is the Persuasive Argument Writing.
On the upper right we did the Sensory Deprivation Exercise.
Below that is an eps that holds the information from our field trip
to the American Printing House For The Blind.


The above picture shows the inside of the pieces.


This is the right side panel.
On the top part we did mini bio's on 6 historical people--
Helen Keller, Anne Sullivan, Louis Braille,
Benjamin Harrison, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Harry S Truman.
Below on left is our lesson on Territory and Invaded.
I LOVED this lesson. It worked out better than I
could have hoped in explaining how wars can start.
On the right side she wrote 3 Things I Learned About Pearl Harbor.


This above picture shows the inside of the pieces.

Across the entire bottom of both panels is a timeline of
Helen Keller's life showing major events/inventions/people.

Great Unit on Helen Keller Wendy! We rowed Helen this past summer and had a ball visiting her childhood home here in Alabama.

This one looks very cool. Are thos EYEBALLS on the cover? I might not be able to do the Helen Keller study... I didn't do owl pellets either! (I think I got squeamish after having kids!)
