Creating Differences In the world where we live today, people tend to take simple things (such as visuals and sounds) in their lives as they normally are. Helen Keller (1880-1968) was born normally in Tuscumbia, Alabama but lost sight and hearing at the age of 19, now it is considered scar red fever (History.com). Five years later, Keller's parents applied for her to join the Perkins Blind Society in Boston, after which Ammansfield Sullivan was hired as her teacher.
I have read the biography about Helen Keller. This is short and shows important time and events. After that, the event worksheet is passed and the box is placed on the board. The children raised their hands to show off the six main events of the book, and they did it very well. Then they put everything on the timeline. However, it is not easy to point out the time I'm reading in a book. So what I did was that I browsed the book and asked the children to read the content of a sentence, paragraph, page or other application at different times and then pick the most important part at that time.
Keller's biography by recent disability research professor Kim Nielsen presents some important criticisms of Keller's disability politics 34. In 1915 she used several eugenics to accuse articles written by Keller correctly in a short time. Keller was greatly affected by friends and the fight against childbirth restrictions and reproductive self-determination with a broad social goal of securing the "health" of future generations of Margaret Sanger. In order to be fair, Keller never supports the more mean and racist aspects of eugenic philosophy such as forced sterilization (legalization of the US Supreme Court in 1927). In any case, Keller wrote articles that criticize "the most suitable survival" spirit of eugenics, not only in Nazi Germany but also in the United States.
