My Analysis
Do the guidelines and procedures facilitate easy access to the materials by the teachers?
Why? Why not?
The guideline and procedures facilitate easy access to the available learning
materials/resources by the teachers. The personnel responsible in a particular section are
accommodating enough to guide the teachers and students in proper handling and
operation of materials/resources. For every classroom there is one (1) set of audio-video
material. It is equipped with one television, one Central Processing Unit (CPU) with
keyboard and computer mouse attached to it. The teacher often uses these facilities
during their class discussion. The teachers present their Power Point presentation of a
particular lesson through these resources. The teacher makes certain that the guidelines
and procedures in facilitating the materials are followed by the students.
Information and communication development opportunities and information flow are the
big challenges arising from a dedicated review of most educational questions. Each of the
learning resource centers, which offer services for teachers and students, has its strengths.
1. Which of the materials in the learning resources caught your interest the
most? Why?
Display boards are one on the focal points in a school classroom or hallway. Often, the board
displays important information for both students and educators, while school children can often
decorate display boards themselves, particularly around holidays and festive periods. Educators
can use display boards to chart the progress of students, act as a visual display to boost the self-
esteem of students and encourage positive behavior
Important Notices
Primary school display boards serve an important function within the classroom or hallway, as they
are often the place where important notices are displayed. Teachers can post what to do in the
event of a fire, the student register and rules of classroom behavior on the display board. Given the
importance of this information, it is essential that students understand the display board and its
functions, while also being invited to contribute. One idea may be to introduce the display board to
your students at the start of each academic year and inform them of changes as and when they
occur.
Monitoring Achievement
Display boards are also a good medium for publicly monitoring student achievement. List all of the
students' names on the display and reward positive achievements and behaviors with the award of
bronze, silver and gold stars. At the end of each week or term, further reward students for their
hard work with treats and praise. This will encourage your students to perform well in class and
leads to a positive reinforcement as students see hard work being rewarded. Furthermore, you can
also remove stars to punish misbehavior, but this strategy is better for older students at a primary
school.
Special occasions provide an opportunity for students to decorate their display board. At Christmas
time, for example, make the display festive by having the class make paper Christmas trees, candy
canes, Santas and snowmen and affix them to the perimeter of the display board. Capitalize on the
decoration projects to teach important lessons about the holiday in question. For example, at
Thanksgiving, teachers can tell students the about the story behind the holiday while they are
making their decorations.
Student Projects
When your primary school display boards are not full of seasonal or holiday decorations, you can
use them to track the progress of student projects. For example, set a target amount of
money/items to collect for charity and keep a chart of monies/items raised on the display board.
This enables students to organize events, write letters and telephone local businesses and run
collection drives, for items such as toys. Reward your students by recognizing their achievements
on the display board.

2. What difficulties, if any, did you encounter in making materials? How did you
overcome them?
The difficulties associated with PowerPoint presentations is the system requirements
involved. A computer, projector, screen and electricity will all be required. It will
also be necessary to dim the lights in the room to allow for proper viewing. The
other difficulty is the risk of technical difficulties. The success of the presentation
depends entirely on the proper functioning of technology.
3. What tips can you give teachers regarding preparation of teaching materials?
One tip I can give teachers regarding preparation of teaching materials if to become
comfortable with the material. If one is not very much familiar with the materials
that he/she is using, it may not be an effective material.

HAND-OUT PLAN
Outline:
- An introduction to the persons, structures, and processes involved
in the operation of the political system, including the study of basic
political concepts, institutions of government. Focus is on the
Philippine context and contemporary issues and problems. The
1987 constitution is used as the basic framework for analysis. The
lesson aims to (1) Introduce the students to the basic structure
My Target
A good hand-out should have all the necessary points written briefly. It
should include the information that students will need to know for
future reference. It should never leave out the key points you want the
learners to remember. Pictures are not required, but images can help
bold any section titles to separate them from the rest of the handout
Keep the handout to one page if possible, but ensure there is plenty of
white space. Do not overcrowd the paper, but try making it only a page.

My Portfolio
Philippines (Filipino: Kongreso ng Pilipinas) is the national legislature of the Republic of the
Philippines. It is a bicameral body consisting of the Senate (upper chamber), and the House
of Representatives (lower chamber) although commonly in the Philippines the term congress
refers to the latter.
The Senate is composed of 24 senators half of which are elected every three years.
Each senator, therefore, serves a total of six years. The senators are elected by the
whole electorate and do not represent any geographical district.
The sectoral congressmen represent the minority sectors of the population. This
enables these minority groups to be represented in the Congress, when they would
otherwise not be represented properly through district representation. Also known as
party-list representatives, sectoral congressmen represent labor unions, rights groups,
and other organizations.
