Helen Keller - The Complete Series (3 lessons)

The three lessons with this Complete Series include opportunities for children to organise and sort ideas, or explain things in their own words, as well as lots of engaging and fun practical activities.

Can your children imagine what it might be like to lose one's vision and hearing?

Find out all about Helen Keller's upbringing and childhood, focussing on how it was affected by her loss of vision and hearing. Challenge children to sort their ideas, consider her feelings or describe their learning in their own words.

In this, the second of three lessons in 'Helen Keller: The Complete Series', children will learn more about how Helen came to cope with her loss of vision and hearing, and how she learned to communicate. There's a choice of activities where children can sort ideas and show what they've learned, or undertake a range of practical activities where they may experience what aspects of everyday life may have been like for Keller.

In this, the third and final lesson of 'Helen Keller: The Complete Series', children will learn about the extraordinary achievements of Helen in later life, including the work she did helping others with impairments like hers. As with virtually all PlanBee lessons, there's a choice of engaging, differentiated activities for your children to undertake – as well as printable resources to support their learning.
