ENHANCED BULLETIN BOARD

My Analysis

            Describe the board display design in term s of raising the target audience’s interests.

The style, selection of colors and materials, the title and the theme of the board display seem

to be a teacher made. Since it is made by the teacher, I can say that everything being posted

are being reflected on the likes and interest of both students, teachers as well as parents who

are the main target.

            Use of language in making the target audience understands of the information

Commonly, English is the main language use as what I’ve observed. The font and size of the

words were formal enough to read and it can clearly seen. The words used are appropriate to

the level of the learners.

            The intention of the Board Display

In my point of view, Board display is for giving information to the viewers or readers and convey

information. It is also serves as motivation tool for the students. By it designs, it holds

 Information and provide learning.

            My Suggestion(s)

I suggest that the bulletin board should have a right arrangements and proper sequence in

giving and posting of information.

Based on your suggestion, propose a bulletin board display by using the form below.

MY BOARD DISPLAY LAY-OUT

My Reflection

From what you have observed about the bulletin board display, what are the skills that must be developed by a teacher?

Artistic – A teacher must have a sense of making art in order to come up an attractive  

                 bulletin board

Resourceful – being resourceful enough, it will help a lot and can contribute to the  

improvement of the bulletin board

            Creativity - A teacher should be very creative in making bulletin boards so that the

        board will not be dry and boring to read and look at.

            Good in grammar – It is very important for teachers because they are model and

          teaches the correct grammar that are going to use.

            Informative – bulletin board display must be varied yet appropriate information given

Did you have any experience designing or making a bulletin board? Which skill do you already have?

Yes! I already have an experience in making or designing a bulletin board. When I was in 2^nd

year high school, one of my teachers asked me to help in making the bulletin board display. It

was all about “Nutrition Month Theme”. I have a sense of resourcefulness and a little bit

creative. I learned how to make boarders and cut letters. It was really my first time to make a

board display.

Are there skills you think you still need? Reflect on how you can acquire and improve on these skills.

I think, I need to develop more my skills in Art because in designing a board display I should.

Know how to make designs appropriate to the theme & combining colors so that the board

Display will be more attractive. To become more artistic, I practice it when I’m doing usually on

portfolios, projects and making my instructional materials. Also, I need to develop my

informative skills by reading books, magazines, searching through internet, and most of all

what are the latest events to update information.
