"The Miracle Worker" and I-Search Projects

Our English 9 students are studying The Miracle Worker by William Gibson. This play is based on the life of Helen Keller, a deaf mute, and her remarkable teacher, Anne Sullivan. Students have selected related topics to research using the I-Search format. They are required to gather some of their information by interviewing an expert.

After contacting Riverview IU 6, we found educators of the visually and hearing impaired who have generously agreed to help our students with their research. Students will use this blog to ask questions, and our experts will respond here as well so we can learn together.

Lea Weaver, who is interning through IU 6 while working toward her certification for teaching the visually impaired, will serve as our expert on blindness.
