2 OBSERVING BULLETIN BOARD DISPLAYS

OBSERVE

1. AN OBSERVATION GUIDE FOR BOARD DISPLAYS

Read the following carefully before you observe.

1. Go around the school and examine the board displays. How many board displays do you see?
- There are two bulletin boards and one announcement board in each room. Every corridor has a bulletin
board, but none of them contain any pertinent information, or they are all empty.
2. Where are the display boards found? Are they in places where target viewers can see them?
- The majority of the classroom's bulletin boards are located on the back wall, facing the students. However,
some of the bulletin boards that are located outside of the hallways are also found on the levels of every
building.
3. What are the displays about? What key messages do they convey? What images and colors do you see? How are
pieces of information and images arranged?
- The objective of the presentation is on providing knowledge about various saints. The information they
convey includes the saint's name, the date, and their special contributions to each and every aspect of his
life. There's nothing exceptional about the image, which is composed of neutral tones. The images are
positioned on the bond paper's left side, and the information is positioned on the right.
4. What materials were used in making the displays? Are bored used?
- Artificial flowers and colored bond paper are the materials utilized.
5. Do you notice some errors? (Misspelled words, grammar inconsistencies and the like) Are the messages clear and
easily understood?
- There are no misspelled words or grammatical error. Despite the use of a small font, the information is
straightforward and understandable.
6. Think about what got your attention. Why did it get your attention?
- The bulletin board's display caught my eye since it was unexpected and typical. I'm expecting for
interactive, attention-grabbing, and enlightening bulletins.
7. Take a photo of the display boards (if allowed)
Based on the questions on the observation guide, write your observation report:

B. Analyze

1. What do you think was the purpose of the board display?

Answer: The goal of the bulletin board display is to express support for the United Nations Month
celebration on October 24. The students will be reminded of the day when nations got united.
2. Did the board display design reflect the likes/interests of its target audiences?
Answer: I feel so; the board display design is modest yet eye-catching. Since the colors are only basic, it is not
distracting to look. Children, as we all know, are particularly attracted to colorful objects.
3. Was the language used clear and simple for the target audience to understand? Why? Why not?
Answer: Yes, I utilized simple language that was straightforward to comprehend and convey. The words
employed are basic ones that allow the target to know the purpose and properly grasp the message.
4. Was the board display effective? Why? Why not?
Answer: Yes, this would be very effective because United Nations Month is almost approaching, and it would
remind students of the day when nations come together.
 5. What suggestions can you make?
Answer: I hope that by seeing this bulletin board, all students will be able to participate in the activity during
United Nations. I recommend that individuals make a small effort to demonstrate their love and acceptance
of different countries.

Based on your suggestions, propose an enhanced version of the display board. Use the form below.

C. Reflect

1. Name at least five skills that a teacher should have to be able to come up with effective board displays.
Elaborate in why each skill is needed.
Answer:
Creativity - It is important to be creative because innovation keeps the audience engaged. This promotes the
capacity to develop an entirely fresh, attractive, and beneficial notion or idea for them. It entails deviating from
routine and doing something out of the ordinary only for the purpose of doing something out of the ordinary.
 Communication Skills - It is essential to be a clear communicator so that students may quickly absorb the idea by
utilizing simple and basic terms.
Organization Skills - This mean organized in a precise manner, particularly on a large scale. It is essential, especially
when utilizing words, that they are united so that all phrases connect to the same topic. It should be cohesive,
with sentences that are rationally organized and clearly related.
Visual Skills - This is managed by the use of eye-catching visuals, images, and visual resources that are not dry and
monotonous. This would be ideal if it appeared colorful yet modest in appearance. Being visually creative allows
you to realize what should and should not be used to deliver your message.
Computer Skills - As technology becomes more prevalent in classrooms, computer skills, particularly in creating
bulletin boards, are becoming increasingly vital for teachers to possess. Instead of the usual method of creating
bulletin boards, this allows teachers to save their time. Because many resources are available online, this would
maximize the materials used.
2. Which of the skills you named in number 1 do you already have? Recall your past experiences in making board
displays. How do you practice these skills?
Answer:
I believe my strongest abilities are communication, visual, organizational, and computer skills. I have little
experience creating bulletins, but these experiences have helped me develop my skills. This allows me to improve
my abilities in creating outline bulletin boards online, which I will utilize as the basis in the classroom. I feel that
these elements should remain intact since as much as possible we want to convey a clear message to the public
and hence eye-catching visuals for them.
3. Which skills do you still need to develop? What concrete steps will you take on how you can improve on or
acquire these skills?
Answer:
My creativity, I assume, is one of my weaker qualities that has to be developed. I am not that creative, and I
personally should need basis or reference to follow able me to develop my original art. I believe that the best way
for me to improve those skills is to continue doing a lot of practice offline or online, watching tutorials, observing
samples bulletin outside and inside school campus, browsing references online, and especially asking for advice,
particularly from artists and teachers, so that I know what to do. It is not sufficient to rely more on computer
graphics, but rather to be as creative as possible in your own style. I believe that with perseverance and effort,
these skills may be acquired over time.
