Talking about Ourselves

We read stories about the achievements of Helen Keller, Charles Blondin and Amy Johnson.

Here is the clip from the movie, "The Miracle Worker" (1962) about Ann Sullivan, a great teacher who taught her pupil, Helen Keller. Helen later became one of the most famous teachers in the world.

Here is the clip we watched. Helen learns to associate touch and language ( warning: very moving!)



Grammar : Relative Clauses

Ann Sullivan was a teacher who taught deaf and blind people.
A school is a place where people learn.
Braille is a written language which blind people read through touch.

Possessive (whose)

The film is about a teacher whose student learns to communicate through sign language and braille.
