About Braille Braille, a system of raised dots that is read with the fingers, has historically been embossed on paper. Braille was first developed in about 1820 by a young Frenchman named Louis Braille. He created Braille by modifying a system of night writing which was intended for use on board ships. He did this work as a very young man and had it completed by the time he was about 18. He and his friends at the school for the blind he attended found that reading and writing dots was much faster than reading raised print letters which could not be written by hand at all. The development of this system by young Louis Braille is now recognized as the most important single development in making it possible for the blind to get a good education. Braille consists of arrangements of dots which make up letters of the alphabet, numbers and punctuation marks. The basic Braille symbol is called the Braille cell and consists of six dots arranged in the formation of a rectangle, three dots high and two across. Other symbols consist of only some of these six dots. The six dots are commonly referred to by number according to their position in the cell. Deal with Ex1 on Page 50. Step Ⅱ Listening[来源:学|科|网] After dealing with Ex1, continue with Ex2 on Page 50. Students are required to do this exercise individually. Because students have read something about Braille, they won’t have difficulty in the listening exercises. After listening to the tape, check the answers with the whole class. Ex3 requires students to listen for events on the timeline. Before playing the tape, ask students to look through the questions first. According to the questions, students may make predictions about the listening materials. From this exercise and Ex1 on Page 46, students will learn to describe events according to a timeline. Play the tape again if necessary. Then check the answers with the whole class. Step Ⅲ Reading and writing After learning something about Braille, deal with READING AND WRITING TASK on Page 51. Present some pictures of Zhang Yuncheng on the PowerPoint. T: Look at these pictures. Do you know who he is?  Ss: Zhang Yuncheng， a writer with disabilities. T: Yes, he has published a book entitled Jiaru Wo Neng Xingzou Santian (Three Days to Walk), taking its example from Helen Keller’s remarkable story “Three Days to See.” Now let’s read his story on Page 51. Fast reading Ask students to scan the text and write a mini bio for Zhang Yuncheng. Show the following on the PowerPoint. A Mini Bio Name: Zhang Yuncheng Sex: Health: School education: Interests and hobbies: Ambition: Dream: Several minutes later, show the sample on the PowerPoint. Sample of the mini bio Name: Zhang Yuncheng[来源:Z&xx&k.Com] Sex: Male Health: disabilities caused by a muscle disease; very weak, can hardly pick up a pen School education: one day Interests and hobbies: reading and writing Ambition: to write and publish a book Dream: to live a better life Careful reading Deal with Ex1 on P52. Ask students to write a short text of 150 words about Zhang Yuncheng. First they should read the text carefully and then pick out 7-8 important facts from the text in preparation for writing. Writing Students are asked to write the opening 1 or 2 sentences of the text. They should say something about who Zhang Yuncheng is, how old he is, what his disability is, and what he has achieved. When students have finished the opening sentences, they will be asked to write the rest of the text. Sample writing: Although Zhang Yuncheng (25) is unable to walk or even get out of bed without help, he has achieved his ambition to write a book. Because of his disability, Yuncheng went to school for only one day. However, when he was 12 years old, he taught himself to write. When he was 17, Yuncheng wrote to a newspaper about his life and his ambition to write a book. Zhang Danuo, an editor at the newspaper helped him by setting him writing assignments every week. These assignments have now been turned into a book, which many people have bought. Yuncheng says that because his life will not be a long one, he must do as much as he can within the time he has left. Step Ⅲ Speaking If time allows, deal with SPEAKING TASK on Page 52. Sample talk: Hello, my name is Liu Hui. I have been deaf since I was 12 years old. I go to a special school where some lessons are in sign language and some lessons are in spoken language which I must lip-read. As well as ordinary school subjects, I also go to speech classes to make sure my speech remains easy to understand. You see, when you cant hear yourself speaking, you can’t correct your speech. This is why it is hard to understand some deaf people. My favourite subjects at school are art and sewing and I hope to go to design school when I am older, so that I can become a fashion designer. My life is very much the same as any other teenager. I go out with both hearing and deaf friends. My hearing friends just have to remember to touch my arm to get my attention and to make sure I can see their mouth when they talk. I play table tennis and I’m in the school swimming team. I like watching foreign movies because they have Chinese subtitles which can read. Being deaf doesn’t stop me enjoying life. There are a few things I can’t do, like talking with my friends on the telephone and some things that are more difficult for me than for non-deaf people, but there are still plenty of other things I can do.
