Your Analysis

Were the learning resources/materials arranged properly according to their function and characteristics?

Yes. The learning resources/materials are arranged properly according to their functions and characteristics. The books, magazines, and other printed materials are arranged properly in the shelves and the ICT and other electronic resources are place in the safe area.

Do the guidelines and procedures facilitate easy access on the materials by the teachers? Why? Why not?

Yes. The guidelines and procedures facilitate easy access to the materials by the teacher because they may just directly borrow or use the material with the librarian’s permission. Computers, stereos, television may only be used inside the library.

What are the strengths of this Learning Resource Center?

The learning resource center was clean, the resources/materials and conducive for learning for the learners who are wanted to study inside the library. Therefore, the learners can easily access information from the learning resources.

What are its weaknesses?

There are some specific areas in the library that I thought it have not been checked especially at the books’ area which are not necessary use be the learners. There are some parts of the shelves that have been destroyed.

What suggestions can you make?

As learning resource center, my suggestion is that the cleanliness should be maintained. The learning resources/materials should be always safe and good condition should always be maintained so that it still useful to the succeeding generation of the learners.

Your Reflection

1. Which of the materials in the learning resources caught your interest the most? Why?

The learning resources that caught my interest the most is the overhead projector. During my elementary and high school years, I did not experience that once in our discussion we used that kind of instructional materials. In fact, our school before did not have it.

2. Which gadgets/materials are you confident to use/operate?

The gadget that I confident to used is the computer. I knew how to operate computers when I was in high school. It is during to my computer education subject.

3. Which one do you feel you need to learn about?

The gadget that I feel I need to learn more is how to use or operate the projector. I want to learn it because I know that it is very useful in presenting a lesson.

4. Read an article about your answer in number 3.Paste a copy of the article here.

An overhead projector is a very basic but reliable form of projector. The overhead projector displays images onto a screen or wall. It consists of a large box containing a cooling fan and an extremely bright light, with a long arm extended above it. At the end of the arm is a mirror that catches and redirects the light towards the screen.

An overhead projector can be used to enlarge images onto the screen or wall for audiences to view. Transparencies can be placed onto the projector to be viewed by both the audience and the speaker. The overhead projector was once a common feature in both classrooms and business meetings. Recently, it has seen a decline in use, as more sophisticated computer based projectors are favored.

Your Analysis

Did the board display design reflect the likes/interest of its target audience? Why? Why not?

Yes. The bulletin board designs reflect to the interest of the learners because it had a creative design that conveys information clearly. The design is attractive to the learners. Its illustrations and creative design are attractive to the people who can see it.

Was the language used clear and simple for the target audience to understand? Why? Why not?

Yes. The language used is clear and simple to the target audience to understand because it’s only uses information which is clear to the learners.

What do you think was the purpose of the board display? Was it effective? Why? Why not?

The purpose of the board display is instructional and decorative. This is instructional because informational messages which is easy to understand by the audience. It is decorative because it has a creative design which beautifies the area where it is placed. Both decorative and instructional purpose of the bulletin board was effective because the expected audience of the bulletin board (the audience) could pay their attention to it.

What suggestions can you make?

The purpose of the bulletin board should deal three purposes – the decorative, motivational and instructional purposes, so that it makes learners to get better learning from it.

My Proposed Board Display

Theme: “Think Math, Love Math”

Board Title: Mathematics Bulletin Board

Rationale: As part of the mathematics month celebration, this is to inform the learners of the different grade levels about the importance of mathematics in our daily lives.

Objectives: The pupils will be able to:1. Identify the different kinds of operations2. Obtain necessary information about the application of mathematic

in our daily living.

Best Features of my proposed bulletin enhancement:

Trivia’s, facts, cut-outs about mathematics and different operations.

Content Resources (Name each needed resource and give each a brief description):

CREATIVE-MATH EXPERIENCES - This book is an orange-colored book, used by teachers in teaching

their learners as a preparation for the next level.

21st CENTURY MATHEMATICS - a yellow- colored book for teaching preschoolers.

Materials for aesthetic enhancement:

(Optional activity) based on your suggestions, make you own display lay out. You may present your output through any of these:

A Hand-made drawing or layout An Electronic (computer) drawing or illustration or layout A collage

My Board Display Lay-out

Your Reflection

Theme: ““Think Math, Love Math”

1. Name at least 5 skills that a teacher should have to be able to come up with effective board displays. Elaborate on why each skill is needed.

Teachers should have this skills in making a board display:

a. Creativity. Instructional content can be dry and boring in a classroom setting. Creative teachers try to present concepts and content in an interesting way.

b. Visual skills. Teachers are somewhat like interior designers; they must be able to visualize the presentation and impact they want to create, then apply those to the display.

c. Organizational skills. It includes comparing and contrasting, grouping, and arranging content in a meaningful way.

d. Communication. Teachers know that words combined with visual content can often communicate more than words alone. As well, the teacher must be a good communicator.

e. Minimalistic views. Good teachers know they must minimize content to the basic building blocks they want to teach. Rather than a display aimed at students who understand the most, the best, or the easiest, the display would be geared to include students who understand the least, the poorest, and the hardest.

2. Which of the skills do you already have? Recall your past experience in making board displays. How do you practice these skills?

The skills that I have are the visual skill, organizational skill and the skill of minimalistic views. I do have visual skill because I did be able to create my own design in making my board display. I also had the Organizational skill because I would be able to organize the illustration that I presented in my board display. Lastly, I had a minimalistic skill because I look toward the relevance of my board display.

3. Which skill do you still to develop? Reflect on how can you improve on or acquire these skills.

The skills that I still to developed are the creativity and communication skills. I thought I don’t have these as what can you evaluate my work. Sometimes I do my work with no total creativity applied.

School: Cantil-e Elementary School

Subject: Hekasi Topic: Araw ng Kagitingan

Grade or Year Level: Grade –II E-impact Fabro

In the time of my observation, I observed with Hekasi class. The subject matter of the discussion is about the “araw ng kagitingan”. The teacher used manila paper as a chart in her lesson. In using the chart she writes in there the paragraph that is all about araw ng kagitingan. The learners participate actively through reading the paragraph.

Brief Description of Teaching Approach Used by the Teacher: The teacher used deductive method of teaching. From general to specific. She first ask the pupils regarding with the different occasions in a year and come up to Araw ng Kagitingan.

Teaching Aids used(Enumerate in bullet form)

Strengths Weaknesses Comments on Appropriateness of the Teaching Aids used

Manila paper as a chart

Module

The font size is visible and clear to the learners. The learners can quickly response to it.

So thin and easy to bring.

None.

Limited uses only.

Using charts in the class especially in the discussion/presentation of the lesson was very effective, because pupils can participate actively with lessons.

Using module in discussion is effective because the module is already a simplified form of a book that is why it is easy to bring.

Your Analysis

Your Analysis

What do you think prompted the teacher to choose the materials/ learning resources that he/she used?

She prompted the materials that she were going to used because I thought she already know the subject matter that she will be going to discuss. Therefore, she already knows if what the learning materials/resources she will used. Another reason is the teacher has already the stock of instructional materials so that she can easily get these in its bank by the times that she needs to use these.

What difficulties, if any, did the teacher experience? How can this be managed?

The difficulties that the teacher experienced in using those materials are that some pupils did not pay their attention to the instructional materials she used. To get the positive response from the pupils, the teacher should strictly rule to pupils to pay attention with the lesson.

Over-all, were the learning resources/materials used effectively? Why or why not?

The learning materials are used effectively in the class. The teacher got the positive response from the class. The pupils pay their attention to the learning materials because using of these instructional materials is attractive to the learners.

Your Reflection

Put yourself in the place of the teacher. What would you do similarly and what would you do differently if you will teach the same lesson to the same group of students? Why?

If I were in the place of the teacher, I’ll find ways to get the learners attention in using learning materials/resources as what she did. Similarly to her strategy, I will the instructional materials in relevance to the lesson that I will be going to discuss so that the learners can acquire better learning in the class. Differently to her strategy in using instructional materials, these would be legible to the learners. I will make instructional materials which are attractive to the learners. Sometimes, learners did not pay attention to the learning materials when these are not clear to their sight. As the improvement in her style in teaching with the used of instructional materials, instructional materials should be good source of information. Not just a using the traditional instructional materials which deals with the limited information. It should be updated and the learners can get broader information from it. Therefore, the learners can learn more effectively and can acquire broader information from the learning materials/resources that you are going to use with your lesson.

OBSERVATION NOTES

Name of the School: Cantil-e Elementary School

Location of the School: Cantil-e, Dumaguete City

Date of Visit: January 13 & 16, 2012

1. When I visited Cantil-e Elementary School’s learning center, I saw different kinds of printed materials like books, modules and magazines. Aside from the printed materials, the learning center also has computer, television and radio. These learning materials are very useful in my topic.

2. The available materials that I saw in the learning resource center are appropriate in my target grade level.

3. The materials that are useful in my topic are the books and modules. The computer and television are also useful in my topic

4. The materials that I can make are the flip charts, flash cards, picture cards, word cards and pocket cards.

Will be made: Picture Cards -this will help me in presenting my topic because this is one way of showing the children the concrete illustration of the real object.

Will be made: Pocket chart-This can be very helpful in presenting my topic because I can use this a pocket of putting all my picture cards and word cards after presenting my topic. At the same time it can also be used as a decorative in the classroom.

Will be made: Flash card -use to develop the fast mental abilities of the children in answering the questions in math.

Math, English, Sibika, Filipino

Specific Content area

Will be made: Flip Chart-This can be used by presenting different subject matters for an easy access of information and the topic can be built quickly that will clarify the lesson discussed by the teacher.

Available: Book this is the most valuable source of my topic because inside it are not only the encoded information but also pictures that are very useful in presenting my topic. I will let my student open the page where my topic is located.

Available: ComputersOne common technology that will help me present my topic. I will let my student show pictures of living things and non living things that start from vowel and consonant letters. The computers contain video, audio video and printed information these will help the student for an easy access of information.

Available: Chalk Board

Learning Resources on a Specific Content Area

Use this graphic organizer to present the learning resources relevant to the topic chosen. On the line of the box, indicate if the resource is already AVAILABLE, MAY BE PURCHASED, OR WILL BE MADE (by yourself course!).

TOPIC: Using a and an in a sentence. (English) Grade: Grade I

Your Analysis

Give at least three benefits of doing a survey of available materials before making your own materials? Explain each.

1. LESS EXPENCES; Surveying of available materials before making your own materials is

important because it will help us lessen our expenses. By doing a survey it will help me

determine the materials that are available and materials that are not available. It will

help me know what are the materials that are needed to be made and bought. Through

this I can exactly buy the materials that are enough in making my own instructional

materials. In this way I can be sure that the materials I bought will all be used exactly.

So, by doing a survey we will lessen our expenses because we already know what

materials are needed to bought.

2. LESS EFFORT AND TIME; Conducting a survey can lessen our effort and time. Again, by

conducting a survey we will learn what materials are available and not available. If we

will make an instructional materials directly without knowing that there are also

available materials on what you have just made, then, you are just wasting your time

and effort. It is very important to conduct a survey so that we will know what materials

are available that will be appropriate for topic so that we will no longer make another

one, but instead we will reuse or improve the existing materials. In this way we can

lessen our time and effort.

3. By conducting a survey we can GATHER INFORMATION on how to improve and beautify

our own instructional materials. If we conduct a survey, we will know the things on how

the instructional materials were made. We can also know the weaknesses and strength

of the materials. In connection to this, the information that we have gathered will be

used or applied for the future making of a better, durable and more beautiful

instructional materials.

Your Reflections

Which of the materials did you like to make the most? Why?

Among the materials that I had made, I like making the most was the flip chart. I love

making flip chart because I enjoyed cutting and pasting the pictures of my flip chart. I also

enjoyed watching and deciding on what color I will use in my flip chart as a background. Aside

from it, I also enjoy writing even though my penmanship is not good.

What difficulties, if any, did you encounter in making the materials? How did you

overcome them?

The difficulties that I encounter in making my instructional materials were the color

combinations and the lack of exact budget. In the color combinations, it gave me a hard time to

decide what color to used, but with the help of the color-wheel and the suggestions of my

friends I still overcome those difficulties and I came-up to a nice color combinations. In the

budget, though we are all suffering from financial difficulties, GOD still provide the budget to

buy my materials in making my instructional materials.

What tips can you give teachers regarding preparation of teaching materials?

The tips that I can give to teachers regarding in the preparation of teaching materials is

first they must plan and decide of what instructional materials they will be making after

conducting a survey. Plan and decide the materials and color combinations needed to be

bought so that the exact materials can be bought exactly and may lessen expenses. Second, be

sure that the materials you made are durable so that after using you can keep the materials and

may use it by the time you have a relevant topic, in this way you can reduce effort and time.

Lastly, we must prepare the materials ahead of time so that we could come up to a materials

that is not done in a rush way.

Cumulo-nimbus Cloud

TYPES OF CLOUDS

I. Introduction

A cloud is a visible mass of liquid droplets or frozen crystals

made of water various chemicals suspended in the atmosphere

above the surface of a planetary body. Clouds are formed when

water evaporates from ocean, lakes, and ponds or by evaporation

over Earth’s land surface and rises up into colder areas of the

atmosphere due to convective or frontal lifting. The water vapor

attaches itself to condensation nuclei which could anything from

dust to microscopic particles of salt and debris. Once the vapor

has been cooled to saturation, the cloud formed. There are

different types of clouds; these are stratus clouds, cumulonimbus

clouds, cumulus clouds and cirrus clouds.

II. Types of Clouds

Stratus Cloud

The Stratus cloud is the lowest of the low clouds.

Stratus clouds are uniform grayish clouds that often cover the

entire sky.

They resemble fog that does not reach the ground. Usually no

precipitation falls from stratus clouds, but sometimes they may

drizzle. When a thick fog "lifts," the resulting clouds are low

stratus.

They appear as a grey overcast deck, but can be scattered.

Because the stratus cloud is low it too has a base below 7,000 feet

and is made of mostly water droplets.

The individual stratus cloud has ill-defined edges compared to

other low clouds.

Cumulonimbus Cloud

Cumulonimbus Cloud is derived from two Latin words

“cumulo”, which means puffy and “nimbus”

precipitation-bearing.

Cumulonimbus is a towering vertical cloud that is very

tall, dense, and involved in thunderstorms and other

inclement weather.

Cumulonimbus clouds usually have large anvil-

shaped tops because of the stronger winds at

those higher levels of the atmosphere.

These clouds can produce lightning, thunder,

heavy rains, strong winds, and tornadoes.

Cumulus cloud

Cumulus means “puffy”, latin for stack.

Cumulus clouds are a type of cloud with noticeable vertical

development and clearly defined edges. Cumulus means

"heap" or "pile" in Latin.

They are often described as "cotton-like" in appearance.

These clouds are usually white, puffy with popcorn

like appearance.

Cumulus clouds may appear alone, in lines, or in clusters.

Cumulus clouds can be seen isolated as in this

picture or grouped together is clusters.

The cumulus clouds are low clouds and most often

composed of water droplets, but can have ice

crystals in colder climates.

Cirrus Cloud

Cirrus clouds are atmospheric clouds generally characterized by thin, wispy strands, giving them their name from the Latin word cirrus meaning a ringlet or curling lock of hair.

The strands of cloud sometimes appear in tufts of a distinctive form referred to by the common name of mares' tails.

They are mostly made of ice crystals and appear wispy, thin; almost hair-like.

Cirrus clouds generally occur in fair weather and point in the direction of air movement at their elevation.

12 slides.

Your Reflections

1. What difficulties, if any, did you encounter in making the slide presentation? How

did you overcome them?

The difficulty that I had encounter in making my slide show presentation was the

slowness of the speed of response by the internet connection. The speed of response was

very slow, it takes time in downloading the graphics, animations and photos of my slide

show presentation. I overcome this problem when I decided to transfer to an expensive

but faster internet café.
