Class: V

Topic: Change of states

Subject: Science

The lesson objectives are a child will be able to explain the process of change of states correctly after the video lesson and recognize the process of change of states in real life situations appropriately after the lesson. 

The main tool that I have used to develop this material is Simulation and PowerPoint Presentation along with the voice. Using simulation, we can deliver any kinds of lesson smoothly and to the level of student’s understanding.

Creation of the Material

First of all I have prepared a PowerPoint presentation about Change of States and then only I did voice narration. For the better presentation and for more understanding, I adjusted the timing and many other features present in PowerPoint Presentation.  I have also supported the concepts using the real life examples to further add on their understanding. Another material I have developed is simulated video of change of states. For this, I have used different shapes to represent each states of matter and used animations to show the change with the help of directional arrow. All this steps and features contributed to this material.

When should the materials be used?

The materials can be used during lesson introduction and lesson development. The video can aid in information input under lesson development in teaching the concepts to students because all the information are clearly explained with voice narration along with the video. The teacher can use it to introduce the concepts of change of states. The teacher can even show the simulated video during lesson development to have a better understanding of the topic.

Activity instructions:

1)            The activity will be done in pairs.

2)            One of the partners will read the definition of any change of states and the other will tell the name of the change of states.

3)            The roles will be exchanged simultaneously. 

4)            After you are done telling, note the words down in your notebook. 

5)            For this activity, you will be given ten minutes.  

 The content based material that I have designed is for grade III. The topic is introducing ‘Identifying Paragraphs form a Simple Text’ from English.

The lesson objectives are by the end of the lesson, a child will be able to identify the parts of a paragraph: topic sentence, supporting sentence, and concluding sentence correctly after the lesson, write a paragraph containing a topic sentence, supporting sentence, and a concluding sentence in their own words after the lesson. 

The main tool that I have used to develop this material is Camtasia. It is a video editing software program which allows us to create videos quickly and efficiently. For the beginners like me, this has been a very good and at the same time easy to use unlike other programs.

Creation of the Material

First of all I have prepared a PowerPoint presentation about Identifying Paragraphs from a Simple Text and then only I recorded the screen using Camtasia Studio 8. I have designed my presentations in a white background inserted necessary information related to the topic and to the level of the students’ understanding. I have even used the ‘burger idea’ to let them understand more with clear picture. As in this particular idea of delivering the concepts, I have used the features of Camtasia Studio such as fading out, zoom-n-pan, making blur, giving focus, transition, so that students can give a focus to one idea or the words at a time and thereby get a clear understanding of what each components mean. I have also supported the concepts using the real life examples to further add on their understanding. After that, I saved the video from produce and share option by selecting the MP4 with video player (up to 720p) because it gave the best version of graphic compared to other options

When should the material be used?

The materials can be used during lesson introduction and lesson development. The video can aid in information input under lesson development in teaching the concepts to students because all the information are clearly explained with voice narration along with the video. The teacher can use it to introduce the concepts of identifying paragraph from a simple text using the idea of a burger shown in a video. Even in the lesson development, using this video, the teacher can pause for a while if children have a doubt on any part and listen to the voice narration.

Activity instructions:

1)            The activity will be done individually.

2)            The teacher will read a passage.

3)            Listen to the passage carefully.

4)            Identify topic sentence, supporting sentence, and a concluding sentence in a paragraph.

5)            After you are done identifying, note them down in your notebook.  

6)            For this activity, students will be provide ten minutes to complete the task.

Creation of the material

The content-based material that I have designed is mainly for the purpose to learn “Communication” for grade V. I have designed this material by using Microsoft PowerPoint. We can use this similar kind of content-based material even in other subjects as well or in other words this is known as KWL chart in common. I have used shapes to draw the snowman and animations to make it more interesting. 

When should the material be used?

This content-based material can be used to introduce the lesson and it can also be used in the conclusion or closing session of the learning. We can let children make a guess about the first two statements and let them do the final one after having learned the topic.  

Activity

Instruction: For the activity, students will be grouped into four with 4-5 members each. After they are grouped, they will be allowed to share their own understanding on each statement and write accordingly. Finally, they will have to present their writings in a group using the materials provided to each group.  

Topic: Multiplication

Class: II

Learning Objectives: By the end of the lesson, each child will be able to: 

1.       . Identify the multiplication sign correctly. 
2.       . Solve the multiplication problems of numbers from 1 to 5 appropriately. 
3.       . Describe the problems correctly.

Creation of the material

The content-based material or the animation that I have developed is mainly for the purpose to learn “Multiplication” for grade II. I have designed this material by using PowerPoint Presentation. We can use the feature for various purposes including the animated movies. I have especially used shapes and animations to make this material. 

When should the material be used? 

This content-based material can be used by a teacher to take the students through the topic ‘Multiplication’. The teacher can use it to introduce the lesson or when introducing the topic. The children can get a clear idea of what multiplication means when they watch this video. 

Learning Activity 

Instruction: Children will be grouped into four members in each group. There will be total of around 5 groups in total. Using the above material, students will be asked to do the multiplication on different numbers other than. Each member will be provided one question and after they are done with their individual work, they can share their solutions with their members and get corrected if there is any mistake. 

I have developed one content-based material which is useful or beneficial for the learners and for the teachers as well. So basically, I will be taking you through the description of how it's made, it's use, and one learning activity based on the material. 

Creation of the material

The content-based material that I have designed is mainly for the purpose to learn “The Four Seasons of the Year” for grade II. I have designed this material by using software known as ‘canva’. We can use the software for any purpose and especially for the purpose of teaching and learning in the classroom. Moreover it is free software, so we do not need to worry about the cost. Initially, I have chosen only the words to represent and deliver the lesson. But later, the pictures came into my mind for children to understand each season better. So this is where I searched the appropriate pictures for each season under the element feature and the words and the pictures got together thereafter.

How to use?

To all my viewers, if you are wondering how this content-based material can be used, I am going to share it right here. This particular content-based material can be used by a teacher to take the students through the four seasons of the year. Along with the spellings of each season, the teacher can show the pictures to get a clear understanding.  The teacher can use it to introduce the lesson or when introducing each seasons. The children can get a clear idea of what each season looks like when they are shown the pictures accordingly. Moreover they can share each of their experiences during each season and share their favorite season as well.

Learning Activity 

This activity requires the students to look at the pictures at the left side of the worksheet and read the season to the right. After that, they are going to draw the lines to match the pictures to the correct seasons. For this activity, the students will be provided five minutes to complete the work.

Hello Everyone, 

I am Karma Dema currently studying at Paro College of Education under Royal University of Bhutan. I am pursuing Bachelors in Education. This is the final year and final semester I will be studying here. These four years have taught me so many things. I did my higher studies at Baylling Central School, Trashiyangtse. 

I am from Shingkhar Lauri which is based in Samdrup Jongkhar Dzongkhag, Bhutan. It borders with Assam to the South and to the east, it borders with Arunachal Pradesh, India. Our village have Trashigang to the North and Bangtar to the west. I did my primary studies at Minjiwoong Lower Secondary School. Back in our times when we didn't have motorable roads, we had to walk approximately for 2 hours from my village.  

During leisure times, I like engaging myself with music by singing. I also like to compose songs and tunes when bored. Most of all, I like listening to songs of my favorite artists. Though I am not fully a talented kind of a singer, I like entertaining my viewers and listeners by singing songs and uploading in my page. Moreover I enjoy when I stand amidst my busy schedules as it relieves my worries and get strength to further move on. 

Besides music, I like hiking with my friends to new places and explore. It cleanses my mind and not to forget, spending a quality time with my friends has never been a waste. Whenever holidays are on our way, we do not fail to plan on visiting a site or any sacred place and make our presence. This trend has never bored me as I have got really good friends to laugh and enjoy around. Additionally walking around the nature has provided me the best healing because of its beauty and its pleasant aroma. 

Finally the best thing that has ever happened to me this whole time is getting to study in this college. I must say that initially I didn't feel that fortunate upon the fact that I will be studying at this college. But as I mentioned earlier, these four years of stay have taught me to feel how fortunate I am to educate and bring a good reform in the lives of children. Not only that but also the times that I spent with my students have invoked in me a sense of love for children and an interest in teaching and having funs with them. This overall has brought me up to this extend which I am truly grateful to the college. 

Thank You! 

Happy Reading!
