Writing with Credible Sources

Question 6 • SS-English Language Arts 7

Use the information from the passages to write three to five sentences summarizing Helen Keller’s life. Include cited information in your summary.

Answer

Answer:

Helen Keller lost her ability to see and hear when she was an infant. Her life changed when Anne Mansfield Sullivan became her teacher on March 3, 1887, shortly before Keller turned seven (Keller 23). With Sullivan’s help, Keller learned to communicate using sign language and to read and write in braille. She later received honorary degrees from several universities and was admired worldwide for her perseverance and strength until her death in 1968 ("Helen’s Story").
