Curriculum Content

A. LOC Lesson 5 Reading Practice (2 hours)

Objective BS20.1: Demonstrate proofreading skills through a reading practice in simulated

braille.

PREINSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITIES

The instructor will be familiar with Lesson 5 which introduced the whole-word contractions

for child, shall, this, which, out, and still. The part-word contractions for ch, sh, th, wh,

ou, and st were also introduced, along with slashes and ordinal numbers.

CONTENT PRESENTATION AND LEARNER PARTICIPATION

The instructor will have the students open their LOC Manual to page 5-4 for the Reading

Practice. This Reading Practice will help the students to read simulated braille. Remind

the students that good proofreading skills are imperative to produce clear, concise braille

for the reader.

The students will do the Reading Practice together as a class prior to writing it out in

longhand. There are two ways to accomplish this task. You may choose which one works

best in the environment you are in.

1. 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.

OR

2. As a class each student will take a turn to go to the board and write out the

sentence they were assigned as they read it out loud. They are to explain all

punctuation, composition signs, contractions, etc.

The instructor will say to the students:

“Be patient when others are reading. Do not write the longhand over the simulated

braille while you are waiting. We want you to be able to understand what you are

reading in the simulated braille copy. Be respectful of others. Take your time when

you read. With practice you will be able to read quicker.”

This activity also helps the students to build good visual skills of the dot formations,

proofreading skills, and teamwork. When they have completed they are expected to


Braille Module 20-5

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 5 Exercise (2 hours)

Objective BS20.2: Demonstrate usage of computer skills working with Perky Duck for

exercise transcription.

Objective BS20.3: Submission of LOC Lesson 5 Exercise with 90% accuracy.


The instructor will be familiar with the Lesson 5 Exercise on page 5-5.The LOC

Manual: Lesson 5: Exercise is a hands-on test of the students’ knowledge. LOC Manual:

Lesson 5 Exercise includes the whole-word contractions for child, shall, this, which, out,

and still. The part-word contractions for ch, sh, th, wh, ou, and st were also included,

along with slashes and ordinal numbers.

The instructor will remind the students to turn the lesson in on a disk, thumb drive, or in a

network folder. They will also turn in a hard copy of the lesson.

You will need copies of: Exercise 5 (photo copies).


The instructor will pass out the handouts 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 42 complete sentences for the

students to braille on Perky Duck.

Some reminders to the student:

“Always print out your exercise to proofread. Yes, you can proofread on the computer, but chances are you will not be able to catch your mistakes as fully as a

print copy.

Look in the rule book first if you have any questions.


Braille Module 20-6

Structure the exercise thoroughly before you start to transcribe. You may think you

can do it without taking the time to structure, but this is usually not the case. It is

important for you to complete this exercise in order to go on to the next lesson.

Proofread your own exercise prior to handing it to someone else for proofing.

This exercise is the final to Lesson 5 and needs a passing grade before the next

lesson is to be graded. A passing grade of 90% or higher is required.”

The instructor is to grade the lessons and relay to students what sentences have error(s).

Students are expected to find and fix them, and then resubmit them for review. If they

need help finding them, they can ask, but the responsibility to ask/fix is with them.

ASSESSMENT

The expected outcome of the LOC Manual: Lesson 5 Exercise is for students to pass and

continue on to Lesson 6.

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

to pass this exercise with 90% accuracy.

C. Evaluation by the Instructor (1 hour)

Objective BS20.4: Evaluation by the instructor.


The evaluation by the instructor is important for the students to realize their strengths and

weaknesses. The instructor will be familiar with the Lesson 5: Anagram Puzzle

(20.C.1) and the Lesson 5: Worksheet.

You will need copies of: Lesson 5: Anagram Puzzle (20.C.1), Answers to Lesson 5:

Anagram Puzzle (20.C.2), and Lesson 5: Structure Buster (20.C.3).


The instructor will pass out a Lesson 5: Anagram Puzzle (20.C.1) and a Lesson 5:

Structure Buster (20.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 5: Anagram Word Puzzle (20.C.1) is a two column puzzle in simulated

braille. The students are to translate the simulated braille and match up the words that

rhyme. An answer key is included.


Braille Module 20-7

The Lesson 5: Structure Buster (20.C.3) was created for the students to practice

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

“Structure and braille this page on Perky Duck. Remember the three things to

check for when you are structuring:

1. Check which cell your text will start in. Then write that number above the sentence.

2. Highlight all the contractions you will be using that you have learned so far.

Write the contraction you will use over the word.

3. Count every cell you will need until you get to the number 40, which is how many cells in a braille line. Remember that some characters will use more

than one cell and contractions will use less cells.

Proofread each sentence so you may develop the ability to read what you have brailled. Proofread your own work prior to giving it to another student to

proofread.”

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.

ASSESSMENT

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.

The outcome is for the students to observe their areas of weaknesses and strengths in

structuring, brailling and proofreading.

D. Lesson 5 Power Point Presentation (30 minutes)

ObjectiveBS20.5: Review of Lesson 5.


The instructor will be familiar with the Power Point review of Lesson 5.

You will a need copy of the Microsoft Office Power Point presentation (LOC5Mod20.pptx).


The instructor will show the class the Microsoft Office Power Point presentation on Lesson 5. Allow for time at the end of the presentation for questions and answers.
