MY ANALYSIS:
1. Did the board display design reflect the likes/interests of its target audiences? Why?
Why not? No, since for me the design is only based for the development of the
school it is not about the likes/interests of the target audiences.
2. Was the language used clear and simple for the target audience to understand? Why?
Why not? Yes, it was clear and can be easily understood because it does not beat
around the bush the message is straight to the point.
3. What do you think was the purpose of the board display? Was it effective? Why? Why
not?
The purpose of the board display is to give out announcements to the
students of any event that will soon take place, Yes it is effective because from where
it is place up to the straightforwardness it does its purpose very well.
4. What suggestions can you make? The suggestions I have is be more creative let the
imagination fly dont based the design just for the school based for the students who
will read it.

MY REFLECTIONS:
1. Name at least five skills that a teacher should have to be able to come up with effective
board displays. Elaborate on why each skill is needed.
Patience- This skill is a must have since it is not easy to make thing that will get
people interested in looking at the boards.
Creative- The teacher must have this so that he can be able to create things that can
fascinate the viewers.
Resourceful- Teachers should be resourceful using whatever he has to his disposal to
its utmost capabilities.
Knowledgeable- The teacher should know about the things needed or what is already
posted.
Organize- The teacher should be well organized so the he/she will know what is the
most and least task needed to do in the board.
2. Which of the following skills you named in # 1 do you already have? Recall your past
experiences in making board displays. How do you practice these skills?
I am going to say that I have the skill resourceful, I havent made in the past any
board displays but I am resourceful and I do my best with the materials at hand. I
practice this skill by always thinking out of the box all materials are not only exclusive for
one purpose u just need to think more and you will be able to find out their other usage.
3. Which skills do you still need to develop/ what concrete steps will you take on how you
can improve on or acquire these skills.
All the skills stated above need to be develop, but for me the most that I need to develop is
my patience in other things I am quite patient but if its something that only I need to do I have
little patience and want it done as soon as possible.
