Helen Keller

For full version: http://www.nestlearning.com/the-animated-story-of-helen-keller-video-on-inter...

Helen Keller (June 27, 1880-June 1, 1968) was an American author, activist, and lecturer. Born in Alabama to Captain Arthur H. Keller, a former officer of the Confederate Army and Kate Adams Keller, second cousin of Robert E. Lee, Helen came down with an illness that left her deaf and blind at the age of only nineteen months.

Alexander Graham Bell advised Helens parents to contact the Perkins Institute for the Blind, which assigned 20-year-old Anne Sullivan to become Helens teacher.

i study Helen Keller a lot. She was blind and deaf at 19 month's and she died at age 88. Helen had a hard life, but she still spoke. She went to Radcliff College and her teacher was Anne Sullivan. Helen Keller was a powerful speaker. She met the Presidant and more.She beacame blind and deaf of Scarlet Fever, and she knew what ppl said by feeling the movement of their mouths.

Anne Sullivan, a great teaching inspiration

Ok, this thought just hit me. Most deaf people can read, but do they read like we? think about it... we people who can hear read words in our head as we would hear them, but deaf people can't even understand what sound is, right? we read by putting the SOUNDS of the letters together. do they just have to memorize the order of letters for every word, not understanding why they are in that order? If any deaf people read this comment, please enlighten me!

i remember watching this in elementary school. if she can't hear the teacher then why is the teacher talking? and how does helen know when she gets something right.. she cant hear or see the teacher's reactions? sooo confusing.
