Learning Process
Teacher prepares a presentation by using Powtoon. She designs presentation like a mini dialogue of
decayed tooth and healthy tooth. It begins with superheroes and their sentences. Then, teeth take a floor.
Decayed tooth talks about a cartoon character who eats so many unhealthy food that harm teeth. It
explains why it so sad as a result of this nutrition. It adds that it is not brushed. Healthy tooth mentions
why it is happy. This tooth says that it would be happier when children learn how to brush because it
does not want its friends to be decayed. In Powtoon, they see how to brush step by step. It also mentions
when teeth are brushed and how many times they should be brushed. Then, teacher gives children
costumes which are shaped like teeth. Each child makes a pair and they decide to which tooth they want
to be. Teacher gives them some foods which is made from felt and wants them to create a story. She
could involve their preparation process. Also, she should be careful about matching shy children with
outgoing children. If they do not want to present anything, teacher could ask questions to them. Maybe,
she could be participation of their mini drama or they could plan a drama all together. All could be tooth
in a mouth and teacher could lead drama.After each child present or they finish drama section, teacher
distributes all health and unhealthy foods on the floor. She opens a concept map which she prepares by
using the tool Bubbl.us. There is a classification of foods. It helps children to classify foods during the
play. Decayed tooth collects unhealthy food and stick on themselves (on their costumes). Health tooth
are required health foods. After playing section, teacher brings big tooth or mouth skeleton and big
brush. Big brush should be light so that children could grasp it easily. She opens steps from Powtoon
again and each child tries to brush this skeleton in order. At the end of the activity, she gathers children
and asks questions about topic.
