ANSWERS
INQUIRING
ABOUT DOTS
- Paper,
ballpoint pen. Ability to raise dots and letters.
- Accept
all reasonable replies.
- Yes-
larger letters will be easier to "read."
- No
- the raised letters offer a visual clue to their identity.
Therefore, the subjects must look away while they are touching
these characters.
Students
MUST use a stack of paper when pressing down to produce dot
imprints. Without the stack, both the table surface and pen
may easily be damaged. Also, remind students not to press
down too hard with the pen. Excessive force can damage the
ball of the pen tip. To prevent cracked pens, use pens that
have a flexible plastic shell.
