LESSON 11: MAKING THE MOST OF COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND FIELDTRIPS




LESSON 11: 


MAKING THE MOST OF COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND FIELD TRIPS


Field trips are expensive. They require much time for preparation and planning.


Preparations and planning for field trip includes discussion and decisions on what to do 
before the field trips, during the field trip, and after the field trip.


The teacher should be at the side of his/her students so that he/she will explain on what is going 
on to their field trip. The teachers were the ones responsible on showing or explaining things to the
students for them to understand the things showed to them. 


Field trip can be successful when the students learned something from the given trip.

LESSON 10: DEMONSTRATIONS IN TEACHING



LESSON 10:

DEMONSTRATIONS IN TEACHING


What is then a demonstration? It is a public showing and emphasizing of the salient merits, utility, 
efficiency, etc., of an article or product. In teaching it is showing how a thing  is done and
emphasizing a method or a process or an attitude.


The photo shows a teacher demonstrating to her students/pupils.


While the picture below shows a demonstration on a Science class.


A good demonstration is an audio-visual presentation. It is not enough that the teacher talks. To be 
effective, a teacher's demonstration must be accompanied by some visual. 
To plan and prepare adequately for a demonstration, we first determine our goals,
the materials we need, our steps, and we should rehearse.

LESSON 9: TEACHING WITH DRAMATIZED EXPERIENCES



         LESSON 9:


TEACHING WITH DRAMATIZED EXPERIENCES


Some forms of dramatic experiences are plays, pageant, pantomime, tableau,
puppets and role playing. Being dramatic can hold, catch up attention and has a 
big impact to the students/pupils. 
             
The pictures shown were examples of puppet, hand/sock puppet and marionette.


To be successful in doing this kind of experience, one should make his/her materials presentable and motivating in order for the pupils to be attracted.


Role-playing.


It is another form of a dramatized experience. It is unrehearsed, unprepared, and
spontaneous dramatization of a lets pretend situation where participants are observed
by their own roles in the situation described by the teacher.
