Sixth Grade Blindness Experience

To build empathy for the plight of the teenage protagonist of The Cay who goes blind and becomes dependent on his castaway companion, sixth-grade students carried out a number of activities blindfolded. Students collaborated as blind Phillip and his kind companion, Timothy did in the novel. Finally, students processed this blindness experience through writing a poem or journaling.
