PREINSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITIES

The instructor will be familiar with LOC Manual: Lesson 13.1 and EBAE VIII.31. This lesson covers symbols for coinage, weight, measure, and other special symbols. The breakdown of this lesson is print symbols brailled as letter abbreviations, print symbols that have distinctive braille equivalents, symbols in contact with composition signs, symbols in contact with contractions, print symbol indicator for symbols standing alone, dividing between lines, sterling coinage, and print symbols that have no braille equivalents. They will also be familiar with Drill 33. The instructor will also present the BANA Braille Codes Update, 2007 pertaining to changes in the code.

You will need copies of: Lesson 13: Symbol List (48.A.1), Lesson 13: Quiz (48.A.2)

and Answers to Lesson 13: Quiz (48.A.3).

You will need a copy of Lesson 13 flashcards (Les13Flashcards.docx).

You will need copies of the Proofreading Error sheet from Module 6 (6.A.1).

CONTENT PRESENTATION AND LEARNER PARTICIPATION

The instructor should initiate a short discussion of the material in the previous module.

The quiz is an inquiry to the knowledge of the students prior to studying Lesson 13 in

class. This quiz is to test to see if the student has read the lesson prior to class.

The quiz contains all of the braille characters the students will learn in Lesson 13. The

directions for the quiz are to fill in the table with the print symbols from lesson 13.

The outcome of this quiz is to test the students of their knowledge of the new braille

characters from lesson 13. Distribute Lesson 13: Symbol List (48.A.1) and Lesson 13:

Quiz (48.A.2). Have the students take the quiz. Review the quiz after participants have

had sufficient time to work on it, and identify problem areas for further review.

Next, the instructor will use the classroom flashcards for Lesson 13. The flashcards for

Lesson 13 introduces symbols for coinage, weight, measure, and other special symbols.

Start out slowly and pick up speed. Hold each card up and allow the students to shout out

the contractions. Then allow time for you to call on the students’ one at a time. This will

help to allow each student to test their memory.


Braille Module 48-5

Some reminders to the students:

“Remember that special symbols are peculiar to braille. They are used to represent print symbols that the braille reader cannot see. Knowing these symbols and using them correctly will lay out the text in a formative manner that will be clear for the

reader.

You will need to know this list of symbols for coinage, weight, measure, and other special symbols. Studying the print symbols, braille equivalent, and the meanings will help you to readily recognize them and know immediately how to transcribe these items. Spend time memorizing these symbols.

Use the flashcards in and out of the classroom to your advantage. The flashcards

will help you to memorize these symbols quicker.”

If time permits you may also want to review the flash cards from Lesson 12.

Have the students make their flashcards for Lesson 13 using the index cards.

Continue to encourage the use of the flash cards in the class room and privately.

As a class the students will read and discuss LOC Manual: Lesson 13.1a-hand EBAE VIII.31 about print symbols brailled as letter abbreviations, print symbols that have distinctive braille equivalents, symbols in contact with composition signs, symbols in contact with contractions, print symbol indicator for symbols standing alone, dividing between lines, sterling coinage, and print symbols that have no braille equivalents. The students will also look at the BANA Braille Codes Update, 2007, page L29-L31pertaining to changes in the code.

Some reminders and questions for the students:

“Remember to follow print order, spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and spacing when in print a number, letter, or word is preceded or followed by an abbreviation

and/or a symbol.

Study the print symbols that are brailled as letter abbreviations and the ones that have distinctive configurations.

When a print symbol that is represented in braille by a letter abbreviation immediately follows a number or letter, a letter indicator is inserted before the

abbreviation.

On what page are these symbols listed? Answer: on the Special Symbols page

You have heard over and over about the Special symbols page and in Lesson 19 you will learn how to transcribe one. Remember the Special Symbols page is very important. This transcriber added page tells the braille reader what characters are


Braille Module 48-6

in the braille volume and what the characters mean. Know which symbols need to be inserted on this page and which ones are so common that they don’t need description.

What other names are used for the symbols for inches, feet, and minutes and

seconds of time or angular measure? Answer: prime and double prime marks.

Do these symbols terminate the effect of the double capital indicator and emphasis

indicator? Answer: yes

Can you use the contractions to, into, and by before symbols? Answer: yes

What dot number would you use prior to the print the symbols for the dollar, pound, or section when they stand alone or are in conjunction with a word or abbreviation? Answer: print symbol indicator (dot 4). You will need to list the print

symbol indicator on the Special Symbols page.

Can you separate a symbol from the word, letter, or number to which it pertains? Answer: No. Numbers, symbols, and/or abbreviations that constitute a unit, such as

6' 2" or 27º35'S, should not be divided between lines.

How would you braille Sterling coinage? Answer: They are brailled as they appear in print and follows print spacing.

Do slashes and hyphens terminate the effect of the number indicator? Answer: No.

The Transcriber’s Notes page is as important to the braille reader as the Special

Symbols page. You will learn how to transcribe these pages in Lesson 19.

The appropriate uncapitalized word(s) should be used for print symbols that have no braille provision, such as the smiley face. What enclosure will be used for the words? Answer: Parentheses or other symbols of enclosure not otherwise used.

This will be explained on the transcriber's note page.”

Next the students will complete Drill 33 on Page 13-4 using Perky Duck.

Some reminders to the students before they transcribe Drill 33:

“Structure the sentences for Drill 33 carefully paying attention to the new symbols you have learned. This will help you to braille speedily. Keep in mind the rules for

spacing, contraction usage, using the letter sign, etc.

Proofread your own work before handing it to someone else to proofread.

Encourage each other to memorize these symbols through the use of the

flashcards.”


Braille Module 48-7

When the students have completed this activity, which includes proofreading their own work, they can exchange drills and proofread each other’s work using the “How to Successfully Proofread” steps.

B. Abbreviations in General (45 minutes)

Objective BS48.2: Know the rules concerning abbreviations in general.


The instructor will be familiar with LOC Manual: Lesson 13.2and EBAE VI.27 which covers abbreviations in general, including capitalization, connecting words, and contractions in abbreviations. The students will also study how to avoid confusion between whole-word contractions or short-form words and abbreviations, spacing in abbreviations, slash with single letter abbreviations, enclosed abbreviations, and non-Latin letters in abbreviations. The instructor will also present the BANA Braille Codes Update, 2007 pertaining to changes in the code.


As a class the students will read and discuss LOC Manual: Lesson 13.2and EBAEVI.27 about abbreviations in general. The students will look at the BANA Braille Codes Update, 2007, page L21pertaining to changes in the code.


“Standard abbreviations are commonly used in print and are represented in braille

according to specific rules. It is significant that you learn the rules on how to

handle abbreviations in braille for the benefit of the braille reader.

Should you following print capitalization? Answer: yes. Following punctuation, order, and spacing (except in certain circumstances) is also very important. Should you use a letter indicator with a single-letter abbreviation that is followed by a period? Answer: NEVER. Never use a letter indicator with an abbreviation unless it could be confused with what? Answer: a word or a short-form word. Remember to keep unspaced abbreviations and abbreviations that represent a unit such as sq. ft. and W. Va. Together in braille and never separate between braille lines.

Insert a letter indicator before the abbreviation when an abbreviation is unspaced

from the preceding number.

In order to make a clear distinction between a symbol that is represented in braille by letters and a letter that immediately follows it, what is placed is placed before

the letters of the symbol and before the following letter? Answer: a letter indicator

The double capital indicator is used only where two or more capital letters in an abbreviation follow one another with no intervening periods. Following a period the appropriate capital or double capital indicator is ______. Answer: repeated. In


Braille Module 48-8

abbreviations that contain both upper and lower case letters, it is suggested that

each upper case letter be capitalized individually.

You do or do not repeat the double capital indicator after the hyphen in a hyphenated compound abbreviation, even when it is split between lines. Answer?

do not

Remember to use contractions for lowercase connecting words and suffixes that

are part of abbreviations

Note: When the abbreviation for chapter (ch) is followed by a period, the ch contraction is used. The contraction cannot be used if there is no period because it would be read as child.

EXCEPTIONS (WRITE ON THE BOARD):

Do not use the in contraction in the abbreviation for inch (in) or inches (ins).

Do not use contractions for two-letter postal abbreviations such as AR

Do not use the contractions for be, con, or dis in an abbreviation if they do not constitute the first syllable in the complete word [XIII.43.a].

Do not use the contractions for be, con, or dis if they comprise the entire abbreviation.

Do not use a one-cell, whole-word contraction for an abbreviation. Place a letter indicator before a freestanding, single-letter abbreviation not followed by a period or any abbreviation that could be confused with a

whole-word contraction or a short-form word.

Learn when and when not to use a letter indicator. When context makes the meaning of an abbreviation without a period perfectly clear, as in 2 am or 6 pm, a

letter indicator is needed or not needed? Answer: not needed

In abbreviations where each capitalized letter represents a word, the entire

abbreviation should be brailled on one line without spaces between the letters.

If, however, an abbreviation contains a symbol, follow print spacing.

True or False: Where context makes the meaning clear, single letter abbreviations that are separated by a slash do not require a letter indicator. Answer: True. These expressions should not be divided between braille lines.

Unlike an enclosed letter that has a letter meaning, when a single-letter abbreviation is enclosed in parentheses, quotation marks, or brackets, the punctuation is retained. Do you remember when to use a letter indicator when you look at the context? Remember a letter indicator is not required if context makes


Braille Module 48-9

perfectly clear the meaning of a single-letter abbreviation not followed by a period.

If the meaning is not clear, use a letter indicator.

Greek or other non-Latin letters occurring in abbreviations, as in sec (microsecond), are brailled according to the braille rules for that language and

preceded by a non-Latin letter indicator.”

C. Personal Initials (15 minutes)

ObjectiveBS48.3: Demonstrate proficiency of the knowledge of personal initials.


The instructor will be familiar with LOC Manual: Lesson 13.3 and EBAE VI.27.c which

covers personal initials.


As a class the students will read and discuss Lesson LOC Manual: Lesson 13.3and EBAE VI.27.c about personal initials.


“True or False: The initials of a person's name are capitalized, punctuated, and spaced as they appear in print. Answer: True. Do not divide between braille lines if

they appear in print unspaced.

Should initials that are used for an entire name, as in J.F.K., be divided between

braille lines whether they are spaced in print or not? Answer: They should not.

What is placed before an initial that is not followed by a period so that it will not be read as a whole-word contraction? Answer: a letter indicator. Initials followed by a period do not require a letter indicator, unless the letter can be confused with a

contraction.”

D. Initialisms and Acronyms (1.5 hours)

ObjectiveBS48.4: Demonstrate proficiency of the initialisms and acronyms.


The instructor will be familiar with LOC Manual: Lesson 13.4and EBAE VI.27.a(2) which covers initialisms and acronyms.

You will need the following handouts: Lesson13.1-13.4: Worksheet (48.D.1) and

Answers to Lesson 13.1-13.4: Worksheet (48.D.2).


Braille Module 48-10


As a class the students will read and discuss Lesson LOC Manual: Lesson 13.4and EBAE VI.27.a(2) about initialisms and acronyms.

Some reminders to the students (write the definitions on the board):

“Initialisms:

consists of the first letter of several words. are pronounced as LETTERS. Remember that in initialisms you will not use contractions and the letter

sign. Acronyms:

an abbreviation that uses the first letter or letters of each of the successive parts of a compound term

is pronounced as a WORD.

contractions are used in acronyms if all the letters in the contractions fall within a syllable of the acronym and for clarity, it is suggested that all of the

letters that comprise the contraction should come from the same word. If the meaning of an acronym cannot be determined, do not use contractions.”

The instructor will pass out the Lesson13.1-13.4: Worksheet (48.D.1). This

worksheet was created for the students to practice their knowledge of the symbols and

rules studied in this lesson. The students will be required to proofread each sentence and

highlight each braille cell that is incorrect.

This worksheet was created to help the students to learn to visualize mistakes they would

find proofreading a braille file.

The outcome of these activities is for the students to understand the different rules for

transcribing initialisms and acronyms in general.

Best Practices

1. Discuss what an abbreviation is: a shortened form of a word or phrase used chiefly in
