Helen Keller's Teacher by Margaret Davidson

Curriculum Review: Top Secret Adventure and Which.I would have been terribly disappointed if she hadn't been enthralled! We have also read Helen Keller's story and watched both the Nest video and The Miracle Worker, but Helen Keller's Teacher is still my favorite.

The girl with the scratchy eyes and terrible temper, the scenes in the poorhouse, her brother's tubercular hip-all those images were so familiar to me as I read the book to my daughter. I don't know why this story appealed to me more than the biography of Helen Keller herself, but it was always Annie Sullivan's story that I came back to again and again. I can think of no other book that I read so often in my childhood. I think it was about the 118th time in my life I've read this book about Annie Sullivan, and I still got all choked up. She could certainly have read it to herself, but I really wanted to share this one with her. I just finished reading this book by Mickie (Margaret) Davidson out loud to Laurel. For her whole life had been dedicated to making Helen Keller free - free even of Teacher. 'Then I would have failed,' Annie snapped. Another classroom extension I would use is have each of my students make a Helen Keller biography project report and each student would be responsible for a different aspect of Helen Keller's life.'Teacher, don't talk like that !' her friend cried out. Having a disability doesn't mean that that individual cannot be successful.įor this book's classroom extension I would have my students write about a time that they struggled or felt like giving up. Helen Keller's story is very inspirational even to children, because it shows that even people with disabilities can still do 'normal' things just like everyone else. I really like this book because it shows how even with difficulties, people can overcome and achieve whatever they want to. The end of the book talks about how Helen Keller went to college and graduated and ultimately overcame the impossible.
