you would like the children in your class to appreciate the visual difficulties faced by three of their classmates. each of the experiences a different problem which activity would best achieve your goal? A moving in the dark B simulated glass C fishing for faces D traffic sign hunt
im thinking C
Hmmm! I think B and D are the obvious wrong answers. A would work only if all three children were completely blind, but since each of the three has a different visual difficulty than the others do, then C is most likely right.
What does your text say about these 4 activities?
thankyou i went back over my notes and the answer is B
Wow! I wonder what that means!
I'm glad you went back over your notes, though, and found the right answer!
To help the children in your class appreciate the visual difficulties faced by their classmates, you can consider the following activities:
1. A moving in the dark: This activity aims to simulate the experience of someone with low vision or blindness. You can darken the room and have the children navigate through it using only their sense of touch and hearing. You can place obstacles or objects around the room for them to navigate around. This will help the children understand the challenges of moving around without relying on sight.
2. Simulated glasses: This activity can simulate different visual impairments such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or color blindness. You can provide the children with glasses that simulate these conditions and have them perform various tasks, such as reading a book or sorting colored objects. By experiencing the limitations of these visual conditions, they can gain a better understanding of what their classmates might be experiencing.
3. Fishing for faces: In this activity, you can ask the children to wear blindfolds or close their eyes and then ask them to touch various parts of a face (using a mask or a tactile display), such as the eyes, nose, or mouth. This will help them understand how tactile cues can be useful for recognizing and understanding facial features, especially for individuals with visual impairments.
4. Traffic sign hunt: This activity focuses on raising awareness about the challenges faced by individuals with color blindness or difficulties in reading traffic signs. You can provide the children with a set of traffic signs and ask them to identify different signs and their meanings. You can also introduce them to different color vision deficiencies and discuss how certain individuals may struggle to interpret color-coded information.
Choosing the best activity will depend on the specific visual difficulties of the three classmates and the desired learning outcomes. It might be beneficial to consult with the students' parents or healthcare professionals to gain a better understanding of their visual impairments and tailor the activity accordingly.
