Learning Bank 11- Making the most of community resources and field trips

                           I learned from lesson 11 that field trip has an advantage and disadvantage to us because field trip offer us educational benefits and it is can be fun but sadly to know joining a field trip is very expensive and it requires much time for preparation and planning. Planning for the field trip it includes decision and discussion first the objectives of the field trip and should be included the permit slip given to parents, second what we are going to do during and after the field trip. I also learned that community resources can be also a person and it is likely historical places, place of exhibits, scenic spot. Those can also be community learning resources it is where the students can go research and learn.

                          I can apply my learning's to my choosen field by having a field trip once a year when I am become a teacher someday because having a field trip the students can get educational benefits from this and it can make the students to have fun and to enjoy learning.

Learning Bank 10- Demonstration in Teaching

                       I learned from lesson 10 that Demonstration defines in teaching it is showing how a athing is done and emphasizing of the salient merits, utility and effeciency  of a concept, a method or a process. We should plan or prepare when we are conducting demonstration to ensure that the demonstration works effectively. And when we are conducting demonstration we should determine our objectives, the materials we need and our steps, and we should prepared our students. In actual conducting demonstration we should: 1. keep students interest 2. demonstrate simple 3. do not hurry your demonstration 4. Summarize and give a conclusion.

                      I can apply my learning's to my choosen field by planning and preparing when I am conducting demonstration in the classroom to ensure that it works effectively and to understand more by my students of what I mean in a particular topic and during the demonstration it is not expensive anymore because I can use any kind of materials inside the classroom . And when I am in actual conducting demonstration I will determine my objectives , the materials should be ready, I will keep my students interest, make it simple, I will not hurry my demonstration, and I will make a summary and conclusion.

Leraning Bank 9- Teaching with Dramatized Experience

                      I learned from lesson 9 that Dramatic means it is something affecting or moving. Dramatized Experience includes formal plays, pageants, tableau, pantomime, puppets, and role-playing. I also learned that according to Dale (1996) puppets are a very effective in teaching because it cannot elaborate scenery/costume and it can present with extreme simplicity. There are 5 most common types of puppets this are shadow puppets, rod puppets, hand puppets, glove and finger puppet and marionettes. I also learn that if our teaching is dramatic our students get interested to our discussion because they are affected and moved by what we taught.

                      I can apply my learning's to my choosen field by using dramatic experience in teaching so that my students will be affected and interested to my discussion not only to make them interested but also to develop their multiple intelligence.
