Hi Martha,<br /><br />By all means, the blind child should have posters and photos during a classroom presentation. Depending on the topic, pictures can be located on the Internet or via magazines. Pictures can be described in braille on the posters. Some items might be both visually and tactually representated. You can also go a high-tech route (e.g., powerpoint, wikkis, etc.), but keep the student's abilities and what other classmates will be doing in mind.<br /><br />You can email me off list if more detail is needed. But essentially, keep in mind that our goal is to make our students competent and competitive in the real world, and most of the world relies on visual cues for learning. This is a great time for this student to learn how to do presentations that meet all of the audience's learning styles and interests. <br /><br /><font size="2"><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"></font></font><br /><font size="2"><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font size="2">Krystal Guillory, NCLB </font><br /><font size="2"></font><br /><font size="2"><p style="LINE-HEIGHT: normal; MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Braille; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'">,Kry/al ,guillory</span><span style="FONT-FAMILY: "></span><br /><br /> <br /></font><font size="2">Teacher of Blind Students</font><br /><font size="2">Ouachita Parish School System</font><br /><font size="2">Phone: 318-432-5481</font><br /><font size="2">Fax: 318-432-5599</font><br /><font size="2">Cell: 318-245-8955</font><br /><font size="2">Email: </font><a href="mailto:kguillory@opsb.net"><font size="2">kguillory@opsb.net</font></a><br /> <br /> <br /><p class="MsoNormal"><font color="#0000ff" size="3" face="Arial"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR: blue; FONT-SIZE: 12pt"></span></font><br /></font></font><br /><blockquote style="BORDER-LEFT: #5167c6 2px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"><div style="FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message -----</div><div style="FONT: 10pt arial; BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; font-color: black"><b>From:</b> <a href="mailto:pibe-division-request@nfbnet.org"><pibe-division-request@nfbnet.org></a></div><div style="FONT: 10pt arial"><b>To:</b> <a href="mailto:pibe-division@nfbnet.org"><pibe-division@nfbnet.org></a></div><div style="FONT: 10pt arial"><b>Cc:</b> </div><div style="FONT: 10pt arial"><b>Date:</b> Friday, March 16 2012 12:07 PM</div><div style="FONT: 10pt arial"><b>Subject:</b> Pibe-division Digest, Vol 46, Issue 8</div>Send Pibe-division mailing list submissions to<br /> pibe-division@nfbnet.org<br /><br />To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit<br /> http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/pibe-division_nfbnet.org<br />or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to<br /> pibe-division-request@nfbnet.org<br /><br />You can reach the person managing the list at<br /> pibe-division-owner@nfbnet.org<br /><br />When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific<br />than "Re: Contents of Pibe-division digest..."<br /><br /><br />Today's Topics:<br /><br />1. pictures, posters, ETC (Martha Harris)<br /><br /><br />----------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />Message: 1<br />Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2012 11:56:04 -0500<br />From: Martha Harris <latinanewschic@gmail.com><br />To: Pibe-division@nfbnet.org<br />Subject: [Pibe-division] pictures, posters, ETC<br />Message-ID: <4F6370A4.2030308@gmail.com><br />Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed<br /><br />Hi Everyone,<br />A teacher asked me whether a blind child should have posters or photos <br />in a classroom presentation, and I told her if the sighted children were <br />expected to do something, the blind child should be as well. He is in <br />7th grade I think. Do you have any suggestions of how he should do this? <br />I said that if it were a group presentation, that he was already working <br />with people, so they would all have suggestions for photos and someone <br />could describe them. If he's working alone, a powerpoint is a good <br />alternative, except I don't think he has the skills to do one. Is 7th <br />grade to young to suggest a reader?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Martha<br /><br /><br /><br />------------------------------<br /><br />_______________________________________________<br />Pibe-division mailing list<br />Pibe-division@nfbnet.org<br />http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/pibe-division_nfbnet.org<br /><br /><br />End of Pibe-division Digest, Vol 46, Issue 8<br />********************************************<br /></blockquote>
