Curriculum Content

A. LOC Lesson 11 Reading Practice (1 hour)

Objective BS44.1: Demonstrate proofreading skills through a reading practice in simulated

braille.

PREINSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITIES

The instructor will be familiar with Lesson 11 pertaining to the short-form words and

proper names.

CONTENT PRESENTATION AND LEARNER PARTICIPATION

The instructor will have the students open their LOC Manual to page 11-11 for the Reading Practice. This Reading Practice will help the students to read simulated braille to another student. Remind the students that good proofreading skills are imperative to produce clear,

concise braille for the reader.

As a class the students will practice reading braille out loud by taking turns reading each

sentence. This practice helps the students to realize the importance of sight to speech aids

which are very significant in the braille learning process. After each one has read through

the practice they are to write out the sentences in longhand.

This activity also helps the students to learn some valuable proofreading and teamwork

skills. When they are completed they are expected to compare their longhand with the

answers found in Appendix A at the back of the LOC Manual.

ASSESSMENT

The goal of the activity is to build good visual skills of the dot formations, proofreading

skills, and teamwork. The instructor will be able to assess the students work through

listening to the students read and evaluating their papers.

B. LOC Lesson 11 Exercise (3 hours)

Objective BS44.2: Demonstrate usage of computer skills working with Perky Duck for

exercise transcription.

Objective BS44.3: Submission of LOC Lesson 11 Exercise with 90% accuracy.


The instructor will be familiar with the Lesson 11 Exercise on page 11-12.The LOC Manual: Lesson 11: Exercise is a hands-on test of the students’ knowledge. LOC Manual: Lesson 11 Exercise includes the short-form words studied in this lesson.


Braille Module 44-4

You will need copies of: Exercise 11 (photo copies).


The instructor will pass out the photo copies and read the instructions to the class. Allow

time to answer any questions. Instruct the students to take their time formatting the

photocopy prior to transcription.

The instructor will explain that the Exercise is a list of 46 complete sentences for the

students to braille on Perky Duck.

ASSESSMENT

The expected outcome of the LOC Manual: Lesson 11 Exercise is for students to pass and

continue on to Lesson 12.

The instructor will assess each student by the passing grade. The students are required to

pass this exercise with 90% accuracy.

C. Evaluation (1 hour)

Objective BS44.4: Evaluation by the instructor.


The instructor will be familiar with the Lesson 11: Puzzle and the Lesson 11: Worksheet.

You will need copies of: Lesson 11: Puzzle (44.C.1), Answers to Lesson 11: Puzzle (44.C.2), and Lesson 11: Worksheet (44.C.3).


The instructor will pass out a Lesson 11: Puzzle (44.C.1) and a Lesson 11:

Worksheet (44.C.3) to each student. The students can work on these as the instructor

takes one student at a time to evaluate their progress.

The Lesson 11: Puzzle (44.C.1) is a Search and Find puzzle in simulated braille. There

is an answer sheet to this puzzle.

The Lesson 11: Worksheet (44.C.3) was created for the students to practice

structuring and brailling. The Instructions will read the instructions to the class.

When the class settles down with the handouts the instructor will take each student aside

to talk about their work, behavior, and review any significant information.


Braille Module 44-5

The evaluation allows the instructor the opportunity to assess the areas the students may

have to review in the following weeks for clarification so the students will be able to better

refine their braille skills.
