Literature Unit - Who Was Helen Keller?
Dive into the inspiring world of Helen Keller with our three-week, literature-based homeschool curriculum unit. Designed to immerse students in the sensory experiences and challenges Helen Keller overcame, this unit interweaves language arts and social studies.
Key Features:
- Empathy through Experience: Students gain an understanding of Helen Keller’s world by performing everyday tasks blindfolded and with earmuffs.
- Literacy Engagement: Reading "Who Was Helen Keller?" along with chapter questions and journal prompts encourages deep analysis and personal connections.
- Hands-on Learning: Students create Braille name tags and sign language decode cards.
- Creative Expression: Crafting bio poems and assembling a biography scrapbook as final projects allow students to express Helen Keller’s life through their own creative lens.
Through this curriculum, students explore Helen Keller's experiences and achievements. Activities culminate in a creative presentation such as a bio poem, scrapbook, or mock interview as Helen Keller. The unit spans three weeks of our Age 7-9 curriculum, typically used in third-grade homeschooling.
