Basic Procedures in the Use of TV as a Supplementary Enrichment

For enrichment of the lesson with the use of tv, we have to do the following:

1

1.Prepare the classroom.

   - Darken the room.

   - The students should not be seated too near nor too far. No student should farther fom the set than the number of feet that the picture represents in inches.

  Example:

  24-inch set means no student farther than 24 feet from the set. (Dale, 1969)

2. Pre-viewing Activities

  - Set goals and expectations.

  - Link tv lesson with past lesson and/or with your students' experiences for integration and relevance.

- Set the rules while viewing.

  - Put the film in context. Give a brief background, if necessary.

  - Point out the key points they need to focus on.

3. Viewing

  - Don't interrupt viewing by inserting cautions and announcements you forgot to give during the pre-reviewing stage.

  - Just make sure sights and sounds are clear.

4.  Post-viewing

  - To make them feel at ease begin asking the following question:

1.What do you like best in the film?

2.What part of the film makes you wonder? Doubt?

3.Does the film remind you of something or someone?

4.What questions are you asking about the film?

- Go to the questions you raised at the pre-viewing stage. Engage the students in the discussion of answers.

  - Tackle questions raised by the students at the initial stage of the post-viewing discussion.

  - Ask what the students learned. Find out how they apply what they learned.

  - Summarize what was learned
