After watching the video clip, answer the following questions:
1. How do you develop simple instructional materials as shown in the video?
I can develop simple instructional materials like recycled materials, same in the video
that I watched. He assemble the box to be a cube, every side of a cube he laminated it to slide
what he want to put in it like numbers or words. For example in one cube it is for noun and the
other cube is for verb.
2. Complete the table that follows on the appropriate instructional materials to be used based
on a specific topic.

Learning Area:
Topics Sample Instructional Materials
1. Life Cycle of a Butterfly Chart using a cardboard that shown the cycle
of a butterfly.
2. Data Recognition Using the Pictograph also called a pictogramme, pictograph, or
simply picto, and in computer usage an icon,
is a graphic symbol that conveys its meaning
through its pictorial resemblance to a physical
object
3. ordinals number Different picture that show the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.
4. Pictograph Diorama that show the farm and different
animals and trees.
5. Volcano eruption We make a volcano using the clay.
A. In not more than 3 sentences, discuss the importance of the following in the teaching-learning
process.
1. Flip chart
Using visual facilitation and pre-drawn flip charts not only helps draw in learners, but
makes it easier for them to remember the concepts they’ve just learned. Flip charts are
economical - They do not require you to use any special films or printers to produce them. Color
can be added very easily - An inexpensive box of flip chart markers allows you all the creativity
you want. Flip charts allow spontaneity - Any last minute changes can be easily made. Flipcharts
are important because they are an effective teaching method since the pages are permanent. The
pages can be removed and taped on the wall with masking tape for later reference.

2. Wall display
Wall displays are an important part of any classroom, as they make the room appear more
inviting and create a better learning environment. A good display not only engages and informs,
it also brightens up the atmosphere of the classroom - a plain, drab classroom is uninviting and
could affect concentration. It can take the form of useful reference material, to support pupil
learning: such as letters of the alphabet and “number lines”. Display material can include
information that it is important for students to memorize: such as number tables, formulae (see
photo), spellings and other important factual information. Students learn better if they
simultaneously hear the lesson, read the message, and see an illustration.

3. Chalk board
Chalkboard is an important teaching aid because it enables the teacher to record the
lesson step by step so that the learners can see the subject lake shape and make a permanent
record of it in their books, and also enables the teacher to review the whole lesson step by step
for the benefit of the class.
4. Diorama
Dioramas can be used throughout all levels of education. They pinpoint a moment of
learning and show deeper levels of understanding. Dioramas can also be used in real world
setting as problem solvers. Overall, dioramas are a fun, creative way to create a 3-dimensional
project. It can be used in teaching process to visualize the concepts such as prey-hunter,
symbiotic life without the use of real animal examples.

5. Nature table
The nature table allows the changes that are taking place in the natural world to be given
expression indoors. It can help children begin to take notice of these changes and find a greater
connection with the world that surrounds them. Nature tables also create a sensory experience for
the child. Nature tables encourage kids to observe and explore, which fosters not only a deeper
connection with nature, but crucial science and reasoning skills that will be used throughout their
lives.

B. Surf in the net some additional non-digital instructional materials.


ROPE and POLE display board
This board consist of two parallel, horizontal poles tied loosely together with [Link] aids
such as posters can be pinned to the rope. This kind of display board is invaluable where there
are few solid walls for displaying information. It has no solid backing and can be made quickly
for teaching, training and when working with community.
WRITING BOARD
A writing board can display information written with chalk (chalkboard or blackboard) or
special pens (whiteboard). Although there are usually more effective methods of transmitting
information, the writing board is still the most commonly used visual aid.
ZIGZAG BOARD
It is a multi-board series of three or four rectangular boards. They are joined together along the
sides by hinges so that they can be easily folded up and carried. Each board can be of a different
type, for example, a whiteboard, a chalkboard, a flannel board and so on. The size of the boards
for the zigzag multi-board depends on what you want to use them for.

Instructors might face challenges such as durability issues and limited functionality with low-cost visual aids. These can be overcome by employing creative design strategies such as lamination for durability and multipurpose use of materials. Planning and careful assembly can ensure these tools meet instructional needs while maintaining cost-effectiveness .

Recycled materials can be transformed into instructional tools by assembling them into functional shapes like cubes, which can be laminated to hold different educational content such as numbers or words. For example, a teacher can create two cubes, one for nouns and another for verbs, that can be used interactively in language lessons .

The 'Zigzag Board' offers versatility by allowing teachers to utilize multiple types of surfaces—such as whiteboards, chalkboards, and flannel boards—within a single setup. This flexibility supports diverse teaching techniques and caters to varied learning styles, offering a comprehensive platform for displaying and annotating educational content .

Dioramas offer educational advantages by enabling deeper levels of understanding and visualization of complex concepts through a three-dimensional perspective. They serve as problem solvers and aid in teaching concepts such as prey-predator relationships and symbiotic life, providing a tangible way to grasp these ideas without needing real-world examples .

Wall displays enhance the learning environment by making classrooms more inviting and conducive to learning. Engaging and informative displays support student learning by providing visual reference materials like number lines and alphabet charts, which aid in memorization and concentration .

The chalkboard is a valuable educational tool because it allows teachers to present lessons step by step, providing students with a clear visual of the lesson's progression. It also enables review of the content, solidifying students' understanding by allowing them to create permanent written records of what they've learned .

Flip charts facilitate spontaneous and adaptable teaching by allowing educators to make on-the-spot changes without needing special equipment. Their permanent pages can be easily referenced later, enhancing lesson recall through visual reinforcement. This flexibility supports dynamic teaching approaches that can adapt to immediate classroom needs .

Flip charts contribute by offering an interactive and adaptable method for teaching, allowing for colorful and spontaneous augmentation of lessons. In contrast, wall displays serve as static, continuous visual aids that enhance the learning environment by providing constant reference points for key information, helping with memory retention and engagement .

Nature tables play a crucial role in fostering science and reasoning skills by connecting children with natural changes and encouraging observation and exploration. This practice nurtures a deeper connection to the world and develops critical skills that are foundational to learning and scientific inquiry throughout their lives .

The 'Rope and Pole' display board is effective in resource-limited settings because it can be quickly assembled without solid walls or expensive materials. Posters or visual aids can be easily pinned to the ropes, providing a flexible and mobile option for displaying educational information, making it accessible and practical in various teaching scenarios .
