Alexander Graham Bell: Inventor of the Telephone (Canadian Hero)What would we do without the telephone? In 1870, Alexander Graham Bell immigrated to Canada from Scotland. While most Canadians believe he was still living in Canada when he invented the telephone, he was not. As an adult, he moved to the United States (US) where he became a teacher of people with hearing disabilities. He got the idea for the telephone while visiting his parents in Ontario, however, and did actually place the first long-distance phone call from his parent’s home to a telegraph office a few kilometres away. Thus, we have a telephone company named after him: Bell Canada.Bell’s inventive mind did not stop with the telephone! He bought land in Nova Scotia and continued his experiments there. One of his inventions was a breathing mechanism that eventually led to the development of the artificial lung and enabled many polio victims to stay alive. He found a way to turn fog into fresh water and was very interested in flying His experiments could fill a very interesting book. the First TelephoneThe telephone that Bell invented looked pretty different from the smart phones that students today are more accustomed to seeing! After researching Bell's most significant invention, have them create sketches of this initial phone. They should label their sketches to demonstrate an understanding of how the phone worked. Then, have them talk about how these phones are similar to and different from the telephones they are more used to seeing in contemporary ic StripAlexander Bell had to work hard to convince others that people who were deaf or struggled with hearing deserved dignity as well as technological help that adapted to their needs. Ask your students to create a comic strip that shows Bell in conversation with someone who does not understand the importance of his experimentation with sound and speech. The comic can be funny, but it should also demonstrate an understanding, either via words or illustrations, of Bell's arguments for why his work was important. ................
