5. Our theme : Talking about people who can’t read
like us …
6. Why did we chose this topic ?
Well, it's because we thought this theme very exciting and
because we didn’t know a lot of things about it … So it was an
opportunity to learn a lot of new things .
7. Our visit to the Library
For more information, we went to “ La mediatheque du 8ème “ a public library
situated not far from our school in our district . In Lyon , there are about ten public
libraries , one in each district . Six of them have a section for visually-impaired or
blind people .The central Library in La Part Dieu , in particular , is equipped with
several computers and very modern equipment like braille display , which use very
sophisticated software .

8. There we met a liberian who showed us books
in braille language :
9. There are more books for child than books for adults , so
adults have to listen their books on CDs . Books in braillle are
very expensive and they are more big than normal books .
10. The assistant also showed us a room equipped with computers
adapted for partially-sighted people .
13. We met visually impaired students
ans interviews them :
We ask them some question like :
It is your font size ?
Do you use special software?
Do you like to reading ?
What do you like to read?
Are you in the boarder Cite Rene Pellet?
Ect …
14. Their tools :
Writing machine
It is very seldom used because
few pupil cornbread the Braille
letter
Specialized
keyboard
This is a keyboard connected to
the computer again it is little
used
Magnifying glass
Magnifiers allow students to
read "normally"
15. What we conclued :
Reading is not just enjoying a story in a book or an article
in a magazine ….Reading is everywhere in our lives , at
home in the morning when the coffee machine tells us
on its screen is ready to make an expresso , or on the
metro , when the screen of our mobile informs us of a
message .
In fact reading is an essential part of our everyday life ,
wherever we are : -at home , at work , in the street , in
shops …..
16. More …
That is why it’s necessary in modern society to make things as easy
as possible for partially-sighted or blind people , so that they may
have a normal life.
The first difficulty partially-sighted people have to have to face
when they leave home is transport , how they can get to their
destination . In the Lyon streets most crossroads are equipped with
sound signals , which are auditive messages . At metro stations the
buttons in the lifts are in two languages , in letters and in braille . In
shops , more and more products are packagesd with braille signage
on them .
