Topic 5:Technical skills and knowledge for producing materialsSelection of raw materialsAssembling of raw materialsAppropriacyEvaluation This is the outline of our presentation2Selection of raw materialsRaw material:Noun: The basic material from which a product is made.

Help the teachers to teach with ease and the learners to learn without stress.

These materials appeal to the senses of seeing, touching, smelling, feeling and hearing.

Now, lets talk on what does it means by raaw materialsRaw materials are the basic materials that had been used in produced another materials.Now, lets take the example of the big book entitled the shape around us~ can u tell me the raw materials for producing that big book? I give you a start~ manilla card, coloured paper, mounting board etc. very good, now u know what does it mean by raw materials.Now lets move on to the advtages of raw materialsBecause these materials appeal to our 5 senses namely3Examples of raw material:Human-made resources:Paper (newspaper, magazines, paper box, paper bag), plastic (straw, reusable plastic bag), computer (softwares), string/thread

Natural resources:Soil, small rocks, tree (cotton, leaves), animal (feathers, shells)Display BOARDSelection of raw materialsAssembling of raw materialsAppropriacyEvaluation Now, I am going to present how are we going to select and assemble raw material in producing display boardI will later talk on its appropriacy and evaluate the usefulness of display board.5DISPLAY BOARDA display board is any kind of board on which visual and written materials can be pinned or glued. It can be used to display students work, give information about a new development activity It can be free-standing, hung from a ceiling or tree.

For general understanding, Purposecharacteristic6Selection and assembling of raw materialsHow to make a display boardYou will needsomething for the surface of the board [e.g. cork, cloth (felt), line, wood (plywood, chipboard)]something to make the frame [e.g. bamboo or strips of woodPins and tacks for attaching it to the board

So, the raw materials are~?7AppropriacyIt is especially appropriate for use in teaching or training situations where there are no solid walls to display material.Can be made of the students work (e.g. art and crafts, or maps and charts). used project work when they have been working in-groups: students of different abilities can work together. builds the confidence of less able students. challenges the more able students.Remember not to leave a display up for too long, or it will stop attracting attention. It is appropriate as it can be used to display students work which will build their self confidence due to their work had been a model to show.precaution8Evaluation of using boardsStrengths; assisting instructors to effectively communicate with learners.pictures and diagrams reduces abstract and make learning concretestimulate learner interestpermit numerous and varied arrangements of visual materialsenable learners to comprehend what is being taught students get motivated in an area of study

There is no doubt that display board can assist instructors asAs pupils learn more efficiently as the picture on the board had transform the abstract to the concrete9Weaknesses; transportation and storing of boards and materials is a problema complete story it often takes either too much board spacesmaller designs cannot be seen wellmore interested in paying attention to what's on the board than listening to the teacherboard that is full of information can become confusing to students

If the design is not big enough then it will not work efficientlyThere is side effect as well as 10BIG BOOKSelection of raw materialsAssembling of raw materialsAppropriacyEvaluation Selection and assembling of raw materialsTools and materials:Ruler or measuring tapeCardboardDrawing paperScissorsWater-based glue and cellophane tapeColour pencilMarkers and crayonsFinger paintsGlitterMagazines with photosString or yarn Sewing Kits: There are lots of small bits and pieces when you sew books together.

Making a Big Book:Ideas for design:Cut or Torn Paper:Cut or tear paper into shapes. Try not to draw first. Use scrap paper and cover the entire back of the pieces with glue. Keep a collage box of interesting papers so you'll always have a handy source.Simple Printmaking:Make potato prints by cutting a potato in half and carving a shape into it. Cut away the rest and the shape will print. Cut other vegetables and fruits and use their natural shapes to create images.Use poster paint, block printing ink, food coloring, or acrylic paint.

Stencils:Purchase stencils or make stencils from poster board or cardboard. Draw your own designs or trace and transfer them to the poster board. Photographs:Use whole photos or cut them up. Attach them with glue or double-sided tape. If the book will be handled by young children, cover the pages with clear contact paper for protection.

AppropriacyBig Books are produced for pedagogical reasons, and using them in the classroom makes good teaching sense.

Why do we use Big Books?Provides a basis for reading and writing activities.Can be used with and seen by a whole class.Develops shared reading and understanding by promoting student's attention and involvement.Provides opportunities for demonstration of writing models (genre).Can be a stimulus for investigations.Can help to raise questions and issues.Encourages talking and sharing of work.Motivate learners.

Evaluation of using Big BookStrength;allows students to enjoy a non-threatening reading environmentbegin to recognize words and phrases unconsciouslystudents ask questions benefit from the adult's superior knowledgeexcellent way to introduce book

Weaknesses;students being left behindsimply mentally "checks out" by daydreaming if do not understand what is going onuneffective for a large class time constraintMASKSelection of raw materialsAssembling of raw materialsAppropriacyEvaluation MaskAmaskis an object normally worn on theface, typically for protection,disguise, performanceorentertainment.

Masks have been used since antiquity for bothceremonial andpracticalpurposes.

They may also be positioned for effect elsewhere on the wearer's body.

It is used in puppetry, which is a very ancient form of theatre.

1) Finger puppetIs an extremely simple puppet variant which fits onto a single finger. Finger puppets normally have no moving parts, and consist primarily of a hollow cylinder shape to cover the finger.

Types of puppet

2) Sock puppetA puppet formed from a sock and operated by inserting ones hand inside the sock. One then moves his hand up and down to give the impression of speaking. Eyes and other factors are added to the sock in order to make the puppet more realistic.

3) MarionetteMarionettes, or "string puppets, are suspended and controlled by a number of strings, plus sometimes a central rod attached to a control bar held from above by the puppeteer.Basic strings for operation are usually attached to the head, back, hands (to control the arms) and just above the knee (to control the legs).This form of puppetry is complex and sophisticated to operate, requiring greater manipulative control than a finger, glove or rod puppet.

1. Decide what the puppet has to doThis may involve consulting a script - some puppeteers use storyboards, as it helps clarify movements and imagery - for any kind of movements, etc. Consider whether or not the puppet must speak, what limbs are necessary and what other things they must do. Consider whether the puppet will need to walk, pick things up, eat, etcBASICS OF PUPPETS DESIGN AND BUILDING2. Decide what type of puppet suits you the mostThere are many types of puppets that will suit your design. There are rod puppets, marionettes, glove puppets, finger puppets, etc. 3. Consider the mechanics of the puppetIn order to make the puppet do things, it has to have some sort of operating mechanism - whether its by rods, strings, or other forms.You will need to make sure that the mechanics are suitable to not only performance but also the puppeteer. 4. Decide what materials you would like to useThis will of course be affected by the type of puppet you would like to use, plus the following points. In general though, you must consider the weight of the materials (too heavy and the puppeteers arm will fall off), texture, look and feel (ie. dark colours, halloween, neon colours, something for kids, something more esoteric, the character, age, gender etc.). 5. Consider durabilityA puppet needs to last a certain number of performances. Depending on what you design and build, you will need to make it as durable as possible; of course, there are situations when durability needs to be less than normal.You will need materials that will not fade or deteriorate after use. Consider also whether your performance will be outdoors or not, and how the weather will affect the puppet. An outdoors puppet will need to be more durable than an indoors one.
