Take Away Message(s): You have been doing a great job! Don’t give up. Keep studying hard and reviewing the rules. Remember how important proofreading is. It is easy to think that we have no mistakes, but the evidence is revealed when someone else proofreads our work. Enjoying a good game is a perfect learning tool for you to apply the rules you have been studying. Encourage your teammates. Team building is the sky light in your career. Helping one another lets your light shine but also allows

others to shine the light of knowledge into you.

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

CONTENT PRESENTATION AND LEARNER PARTICIPATION

As a class the students will read and discuss LOC Manual: Lesson 13.5 and EBAE VIII.31.e

about the ditto sign.

Some reminders and questions for the students:

“What dot formation is the print ditto sign represented in braille by? Answer: dots

5, 2, which is a two-cell symbol. Always leave a space before and after a braille

ditto sign. What do you do when multiple ditto signs are shown in print? Answer:

only one ditto sign is used in braille. Which page is this symbol listed on? Answer:

List this sign on the special symbols page.”

As a class the students will read and discuss LOC Manual: Lesson 13.6 and EBAE VI.27.f

about telephone numbers.


“How do you transcriber telephone numbers consisting of all numbers? Answer:

follow print spacing. Telephone numbers composed of both letters and numbers are

brailled without spaces or contractions, regardless of print.

In lists of telephone numbers for actual use, it is best not to divide _____-digit numbers or letter/number combinations between lines. Answer: seven. Long distance numbers may be divided at any point at which a hyphen or space occurs before the seven-digit local number. A telephone number mentioned in a story

situation may be divided between lines at any print hyphen.

Can you use the st contraction is 1-800-STOP? Answer: no. This is because STOP is

to be read as individual letters, each letter representing a number to be dialed. This


Braille Module 49-5

also applies to radio call letters, such as WERN-FM, and any random combination of

numbers and letters such as model numbers.”

As a class the students will read and discuss LOC Manual: Lesson 13.7 and EBAE VI.27.d

about postal codes.


“Are Postal districts and ZIP codes are spaced in braille as they appear in print?

Answer: yes. Can you use contractions in postal codes? Answer: No, you also

cannot divide them between lines.”

As a class the students will read and discuss LOC Manual: Lesson 13.8 and EBAE VI.27.e

dates.


“Follow print when a date is indicated by the numbers of the month, day, and year

(or day, month, and year) separated by slashes or hyphens. What do you use to

separate when print uses separators, such as spaces or dots? Answer: Substitute

braille hyphens. Only one number indicator should precede the entire group. Do

not divide between lines.

When inclusive dates are joined by a hyphen or a dash, do you repeat the number

indicator before the second date? Answer: yes.”

Next the students will complete Drill 34 on Page 13-11 using Perky Duck.

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.

Answers to Lesson 13.5-13.9: Worksheet (49.B.2).

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


Braille Module 49-6


As a class read and discuss LOC Manual: Lesson 13.9 about the format for letters

(correspondence).


“True or False: No rules are given in EBAE or Braille Formats: Principles of Print to Braille Transcription for brailling letters of correspondence. Answer: True, but there

are the following guidelines:

Always follow print copy as to the location of headings, inside addresses, closings, and signatures, indenting in braille as they appear in print. Indented paragraphs in

the body of the letter should start in the third cell, as all braille paragraphs do.

How do you block a heading? Answer: To block a heading, count the number of cells needed for the longest line. This line should end at the extreme right-hand margin. All other lines of the heading start in the same numbered cell as the longest line. Runover lines should be avoided in the heading and inside address—even if this means that the blocked lines of the heading start left of the middle of

the page.

What do you do if there is not enough room to include the last line of the body of the letter as well as the complimentary closing, signature, writer's and typist's initials, and notice of enclosure on a braille page? Answer: take the last line of the

body of the letter to a new page.

It is recommended that the closing and signature be brailled following the rules for ____. Answer: Attributions, start each line in cell 5.

Blank lines are left in braille letters between segments that are not distinguished by____ ____. Answer: margin indentions. When a letter is written in semiblock form, as in the illustration above and the following exercise, the only place a blank

line is needed in braille is between the inside address and the salutation.

True or False: If a letter is written in full block form (without an indention) and all segments start at the left margin, the same should be done in braille. Answer: True. In order to enable a braille reader to distinguish the different segments of the letter, leave a blank line is left between the inside address and the salutation, the salutation and the first paragraph, and between following paragraphs. A blank line is also left between the last line of the body of the letter and the closing. If there are writer's initials and/or a notice of enclosures followed by a postscript, a blank

line should separate the two.”

The instructor will pass out the Lesson 13.5-13.9: Worksheet (49.B.1).This worksheet was created as a help tool with8 sentences and a short letter for the students to proofread and find the mistakes. They are to highlight the incorrect braille. Please go over this

worksheet with the students and allow time for questions. There is an answer key

included. Remind the students to look in the rule book for help.

C. Review and Test (1 hour)

ObjectiveBS49.3: Review and test on the ditto sign, telephone numbers, postal codes,

dates, and the format for letters.


The instructor will be familiar with Lesson 13.5-13.9.

You will need the following handouts: Lesson 13.5-13.9: Test (49.C.1) and Answer to

Lesson 13.5-13.9: Test (49.C.2).


Review Lesson 6 of the LOC Manual. The review is designed to prepare the students for the test. The instructor is to go over each section with emphases on areas that will be on the test. Allow the students to ask any questions pertaining to the context of LOC Manual: Lesson 13.5-13.9.

The instructor will pass out the Lesson 13.5-13.9: Test (49.C.1) to each student. This test consists of matching the words to the braille symbols and true and false. An answer key is included.

The expected outcome of the test will help both the instructor and the students to understand the students’ strengths and weaknesses. This will allow them to work together

to strengthen the students weaknesses in any area.

telephone numbers, postal codes, dates, and the format for letters.

D. Play the Game: Jeopardy! (1.5 hours)

Objective BS49.4: Demonstrate knowledge proficiency of the symbols and rules by

playing the game: Jeopardy!


The instructor should become familiar with the computerized game of Jeopardy. The instructor must be able to demonstrate how this game is played. They must also be able to train someone to run the game on the computer. You will need an impartial player from

the class but preferably an outsider to run the game on the computer.


Braille Module 49-8

You may want to make JEOPARDY Ribbons (49.D.1) printed on card stock paper for

the winners.

You will need a copy of the Jeopardy Questions (49.D.2) for the instructor.


Divide the students into groups of three and have each group pick a name for the group.

Some reminders to the students:

“The purpose of the game is to have fun and to apply what you have learned in

Lessons 11-13.

Remember that teamwork will create an environment that will allow the game to

flow as you challenge the other team. ENJOY!”

The questions for Lessons are included in the handouts. This is a reference guide for the instructor to follow.

Read the instructions to the students so they will get an idea of how the game is played.

The students should answer their own questions without help from the other students.

Each contestant or team will be given an answer in which they must pose the corresponding question. Dollar values are assigned to each answer. The contestant or

team with the most money in the end wins!

You may not be able to go through all the questions from Lessons 11-13. A suggestion is to start the game on Lesson 13 and work downwards. This will allow for the students to

practice their latest lessons, due to the timetable.

See Jump Start Directions that are attached.

ASSESSMENT

The outcome of the game is to test the students on their knowledge of Lessons 11-13 while in a fun environment.

Remember that people learn from their mistakes. Allow for time to ask questions. There may have been errors or changes in the LOC rules and this is a great time to acknowledge

these with a class discussion.
