Resource Teacher: Mrs. Janette M. Manalo
Teacher’s Signature:
Read the following carefully before you observe.
1. How many board displays do you see in your resource class?
There are two black-boards in the classroom.
2. Where are the displays boards found? Are they in places where target viewers can see them?
It is located in the front of the classroom, it is in good condition and it is arrange in a way
students can read and understand the information written on it. It is wide provided for teacher and
for the student’s stability and value of focus to learning.
3. What are the displays about? What key messages do they convey? What images and colors
do you see? How are the pieces of information and images arranged?
List of class officers, food for taught, DepEd and School officials and daily cleaners. There are
numbers and lessons posted on it.
4. What materials were used in making the displays? Are borders used?
The materials used in making prints are cartolina and pictures. The prints are correctly spelled,
grammatically free from errors, simple and friendly to common audience. Pictures are proportion
to the size of the board and the colors are cool to the eye. The borders were made wood and
covered with cartolina that defines the edges and corners of the board.
5. Do you notice some errors? (misspelled words, grammar inconsistencies and the like)
So far, there are no grammar errors or misspelled words.
6. Are the messages clear and easily understood?
The board is well tacked on the wall. The prints and pictures are protected by a stained class that
covers the whole board. I suggest that the display board will encourage everyone to contribute in
the making of the monthly theme which will be posted on the boards monthly too. In this way, all
school will encourage to do their job as part of the community of learners.
7. Think about what got your attention. Why did it get your attention?
The bulletin board in located outside the classroom, in front of the pupil’s classrooms. It is highly
accessible/ and visible to all the school personnel parents and students. The colors of the boards,
the prints and illustrations are very eye catchy and friendly.

Background
What do you think was the purpose of the board display?
Classroom display boards are a great way to get your students engaged, excited and
working together, helping to maximize learning and personal skills. One of the greatest
advantages of classroom display boards is that students will begin to take even greater pride
over their work with the incentive of having it displayed for all to see.
Did the board display design reflect the likes/interests of its target audience? Why? Why
not?
Yes, the board display is surely reflecting the likes/ interest of the whole audience. This is
because the colors are eye catchy, the prints are attractive and simple to understand, and the
message is convincing.
Was the language used clear and simple for the target audience to understand? Why?
Why not?
Yes, The language used is clear and simple to be understood by pupils, parents, teachers
and other stake holders. The prints are colorful and match with the board and the wall.
Was the board display effective? Why? Why not?
Yes, classroom display boards can make an excellent addition to any classroom. Not only
do they encourage visual learning and interactive lessons, but they also help children to
develop their personal skills and harness their creativity.
What suggestions can you make?
I suggest involving students, parents, teachers and other stake holders in making the
bulletin boards in monthly basis. In this way, the boards will be functional, meaning and
owned by everyone. The subtle way to inculcate patriotism in school is to involve all as
community of learners.
