Curriculum Content

A. Text Pages (15 minutes)

Objective BS67.1: Know the difference between preliminary and text pages.

PREINSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITIES

The instructor will be familiar with section 19.3 which covers text pages, including page

numbering of text pages, the first page of text, and the preface, foreword, prologue,

introduction, and author's personal acknowledgments.

CONTENT PRESENTATION AND LEARNER PARTICIPATION

As a class the students will read and discuss LOC Manual: Lesson 19.3 and BF Rule

1§14.b, Rule 2§1 about text pages.

Some reminders to the students:

“Can anyone describe the difference between a preliminary page and a text page?

Answer: Preliminary pages, numbered as "p" pages, must come first in a braille

volume. These are transcriber-added pages. Text pages, with Arabic numbering,

which follow. These are the actual print pages. They start with the first page upon

which narrative text is found. This may be a preface, introduction, foreword,

author's note, etc.”

“In literary-style pagination, Arabic numbering starts on the ____ page of text and

continues throughout all volumes, including any end matter such as an epilogue or

information about the author. Answer: first Therefore, in the first volume following

the preliminary pages, the first page of text will be numbered Arabic 1 (#a) placed

at the end of line 1.

Following the braille preliminary pages, the text pages are brailled in what order?

Answer: In which they appear in print. Do you know what the first page of text

may be? Answer: The first page of an introduction, acknowledgments, a preface—

or it might be the first page of the first chapter. What order would you transcribe

these items? Answer: If there is both an introduction and a preface, for instance,

braille them in the print order. Are there any exceptions to this rule? Answer: There

is one exception to this rule: if a narrative piece, such as a preface, comes before a

table of contents in print, in braille place the preface following the table of

contents, but do not add to or change the print list of contents. When the

arrangement of material at the beginning of a book is changed from the print copy,


Braille Module 67-5

it must be noted on a transcriber's notes page in the ____ volume only. Answer:

first

There are only two pages in a braille volume that do not carry a running head.

What are these? Answer: The title page and the first page of text.”

B. Order of Preliminary and Text Pages (15 minutes)

Objective BS67.2: Summarize the order of preliminary and text pages.


The instructor will be familiar with section 19.4 which covers the Summary: Order of

Preliminary and Text Pages.


As a class the students will read and discuss LOC Manual: Lesson 19.4 about the Summary:

Order of Preliminary and Text Pages.


“Who can list the steps to determine the order of braille preliminary and text pages?

Answer:

1. Look carefully at all of the print pages that precede the start of the first chapter and determine which should be considered the beginning of "text" pages in braille.

2. Note which of the items in the list in 19.2 are pertinent to your book and list

them on a sheet of paper in the order prescribed.

3. Note all other print preliminary pages (see 19.2h) prior to the beginning of text (if any), and continue listing each of those in the order in which they appear in the print book.

4. If a narrative piece, such as a preface, is located before a table of contents, transpose the two, but do not add to or change the contents page. The preface then becomes the first page of text. Only narrative pieces preceding the table of contents should be moved. The order and format of the braille version should be as close to the print copy as possible.

5. Consecutively number all items that follow the beginning of text in Arabic numbers, including poetry, epigraphs, etc. Ignore print pages that simply

repeat the title.”


Braille Module 67-6

C. Books Broken into Units and Chapters (30 minutes)

Objective Identify when books are broken into units and chapter titles.


The instructor will be familiar with section 19.5 which covers book broken into units and

section 19.6 which covers chapter titles.


As a class the students will read and discuss LOC Manual: Lesson 19.5 and BF Rule

1§13c(3) which covers books broken into units.


“Whenever print uses an entire page for a unit heading (such as Part I), this page should be ____ in braille. Answer: omitted. True or False: Such a heading should be centered and separated by a blank line from other headings or text that precede and/or follow it. Answer: True. Can you name some other rules that apply? Answer: Follow print capitalization. Ignore special typefaces when an entire heading is printed in italics or small capitals. Use emphasis indicators for a word, or words, within a heading that is emphasized or foreign.”

If an epigraph is printed on the same page as a unit or chapter title where would

you place it? Answer: Place it before or after the title, as it appears in print,

preceded and followed by a blank line. What margins would you use? Answer: Use

normal margins and follow print for paragraph indentions. What about the

quotation marks? Answer: Retain quotation marks if shown in print but do not note

italics unless needed for emphasis or distinction.”

As a class the students will read and discuss LOC Manual: Lesson 19.6 which covers

chapter titles.


“What are chapter titles treated as? Answer: Centered headings. Can you name

some other rules that apply? Answer: Follow print for capitalization and roman or

Arabic numerals. Use emphasis indicators for print italics only if emphasis or

distinction is required, such as for an italicized foreign word within the title.

A long title should be divided and brailled, centered, on ____ lines. Answer: consecutive. At least ____ blank cells must be left at the beginning and ending of each line. Answer: three. If a chapter heading consists of both a number and a title, both should be placed on one braille line if ____ permits. Answer: space. True


Braille Module 67-7

or False: When placed on one line, the chapter number comes first followed by a space and the title—regardless of print placement. True, and remember formatting must be consistent throughout a book. If any chapter heading in a book is too long to be placed on the same line with the chapter number what would you do? Answer: Then ALL chapters should have the chapter number centered on one line and the chapter title centered on the next. Where do you start the first chapter of a book? Answer: On a new braille page. What about when following chapters end in the middle of a braille page? Answer: The next chapter should start on that same page as long as there is room for the chapter heading with its preceding and following blank lines and at least one line of braille text. Would you use blank lines? Answer: When a new chapter starts at the top of a braille page, a blank line is left between the running head and the chapter heading. When a braille volume ends in the middle of a chapter, the first page of text in the

following volume should carry, first, the ____ ____ of the book (no running head),

followed by a blank line and the centered chapter heading followed by the word

(cont.). Answer: Full title.”

D. Volume Size and Division (15 minutes)

Objective BS67.4: Demonstrate a growing proficiency of volume size and division.


The instructor will be familiar with section 19.7 which covers volume size and division.


As a class the students will read and discuss LOC Manual: Lesson 19.7 about volume size

and division.


“Where is the ideal place for a volume division? Answer: At the end of a chapter or

other unit of the text. Is this always feasible? No, when this is not possible, division

should be made at a point where there is a logical break in context or thought. Can

you divide in the middle of a paragraph? Answer: Do not divide in the middle of a

paragraph, no matter how long that paragraph may be. What is the optimal size of a

braille volume? Answer: One hundred pages, but may vary between ninety and one

hundred and ten or fifteen pages (a page, in this instance, refers to an actual piece of

paper, not to braille page numbers). What if the total number of pages exceeds a hundred

and fifteen? Answer: Divide the book into two volumes. What should we favor smaller

volumes? Answer: Because of the bulk of a braille volume. The variation between any two


Braille Module 67-8

volumes in the same book should not exceed ____ pages. Answer: fifteen. Remember to

include the preliminary pages in the page count.

Can someone describe how to determine in advance the number and length of braille volumes? Can you remember the formula? Answer:

a) Braille 50 full pages of braille. Include preliminary pages in this count only if they are full, or nearly so.

b) 50 braille pages equal ____ print pages.

c) The total number of print pages in the book is ____.

d) Divide the total number of print pages by the answer in line (b). This will

determine t the number of braille half-volumes.

e) For an estimate of the number of full braille volumes, divide the answer in

(d) by 2.”

E. Appendices, Glossaries, Bibliographies, Indices, Etc. (30 minutes)

Objective BS67.5: Know how to transcribe appendixes, glossaries, bibliographies, indexes, etc.


The instructor will be familiar with section 19.8 which covers appendixes, glossaries,

bibliographies, indexes, etc.

Have copies of: Various books containing appendixes, glossaries, bibliographies,

indexes, etc.


As a class the students will read and discuss LOC Manual: Lesson 19.8 about appendixes,

glossaries, bibliographies, indexes, etc.


“When such items are shown in print they should be reproduced in braille ____ the

sponsoring agency directs otherwise. Answer: unless. Remember to ask the agency

for a copy of their specs or preferences when you sign a contract. Can you explain

some other rules for appendixes, glossaries, bibliographies, indexes, etc.? Each one

begins a new braille page with the heading as shown in print centered on the third

line. Leave a blank line to separate the heading from the following text.

Where should you go for the correct braille formats to be used for glossaries and indexes? Answer: Consult Braille Formats. Books containing such end matter are transcribed using ____-style pagination. Answer: textbook.”


Braille Module 67-9

volume and end-of-book indication.


“Does the Library of Congress require an end-of-volume indication on the

certification manuscript? Answer: Yes. What about other agencies? Answer: They

may not have this requirement. Once again it will be very beneficial to you to ask in

advance for the agencies specs.

Indication of the volume ending should appear on the last ____ of the volume whether that page contains text, an author's notes, index, or any other material. Answer: page. What are the words you will use? Answer: The words END OF VOLUME followed by the appropriate volume number (such as END OF VOLUME 4) are centered below the last line of braille on the last page of each volume except the final one. Is the final volume treated the same? Answer: No, in the final volume, only the words THE END are used.

What about blank lines? Answer: Whenever possible, one blank line should precede the end-of-volume indication. But what if a volume ends on line 24 of the page? Answer: Line 25 should be used for this purpose. When a volume ends on line 25, the end-of-volume indicator may be placed on that line so long as there is room for three blank cells between the end of the text and the end-of-volume indicator. If this is not possible, the last line of braille text must be carried over to another page.”

G. Review and Test (1 hour)

Objective BS67.7: Review and test over preliminary/text pages.


The instructor will be familiar with the Lesson 19.3-19.9.


Braille Module 67-10

19.3-19.9: Test (67.G.2).


Review Lesson 19.3-19.9 of the LOC Manual. The review is designed to prepare the

students for the test. The instructor is to go over each section with emphases on areas

that will be on the test. Allow the students to ask any questions pertaining to the context

of LOC Manual: Lesson 19.3-19.9.

Pass out the Lesson 19.3-19.9: Test (67.G.1) to each student. This test consists of filling in the blanks and True or False. An answer key is included. Allow for time to go over

the test and answer questions.

The expected outcome of the test will help both the instructor and the students to

understand the students’ strengths and weaknesses. This will allow them to work together

to strengthen the students weaknesses in any area.

ASSESSMENT

This test is necessary for the students and the instructor to determine the knowledge acquired over Lesson: 19.3-19.9 of the Instruction Manual for Braille Transcribing Fifth Edition, 2009. It is expected that the students will fully grasp the rules for text pages, summarize the order of preliminary/text pages, book broken into units, chapter titles, volume size/division, appendixes, glossaries, bibliographies, indexes, etc., and end-of-volume/end-of-book indication and the rules concerning the usages.

H. Play the Game: Family Feud (2 hours)

Objective BS67.8: Play the Game: Family Feud.


The instructor will be familiar with the game: Family Feud.

You will need a copy of: Family Feud (67.H.1). This is a list of the questions (regular

and fast money) for the instructor.

The instructor will need to read the Family Feud Presentation Software Instructions.doc. These instructions will tell how the game is actually played on the computer. The instructor will need to train someone to be on the computer to execute the

program.



The information the instructor needs is in the two folders named: Game 1 and Game 2

listed above. The Game (1 or 2) Flashcards can be printed out on cardstock paper and

cut out so that they can be comfortably held in the hand. These will be used to play the

game. The answers are numbered. The number following the answer is the number of

people who chose that answer. The Questions Game (1 or 2) is the list of questions in

each game. The instructor will need a copy of this for reference. The actual game is

Family Feud 4.0.exe. The items labeled Q1.txt, Q2.txt, fmoney.txt etc. are for

the .exe files to make the program work. Please do NOT open these files. They

are interlinked to the program.

You will need to set up the computer and overhead projector and train someone to use

the program.


The instructor will divide the class into two groups and have the groups come up

with a name. They will go into the Game 1 folder and open up Family Feud 4.0.exe

file. When this round is complete you may have time to play Game 2.

ENJOY!
