from indigenous resources.

Statement of the problem

This project aims to discover the effectiveness of instructional materials made from
indigenous objects in relation to classroom instruction.

Specifically, it reaches to answer the following questions:

1. What will be the outcome in integrating instructional materials made from
indigenous materials?
2. How effective it is in enhancing the teaching – learning process and to
motivate the students?

material out of indigenous material in particular the improvise television in
teaching an epic?

CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW

This section summarizes the works of various theorists and researchers on Learning
Styles performances and factors that affect learning styles and the different
Theoretical Perspectives of Learning. It also shows the history of the epic “Bidasari”,
its origin, where it from and the importance of it.

Foreign Literature
Learning is a solitary act occurring in relationship with others making it
possible for human community to be created and recreated. Instruction should start
with students and end with them as well. This follows the premise that the way
teachers understand students; one must understand the manner in which people
learn.

Local Literature

Synthesis
Educators are expected to be sensitive on the individual differences of their
students. One aspect to be considered is the Learning styles. They vary from each
and very students.

CHAPTER 3: TARGET LEARNER’S PROFILE

This chapter aimed to explain the target learner’s. Their differences and learning
styles as well as their perception towards learning and education as a whole.

CHAPTER 4: INSTRUCTIONAL PLAN

Semi – Detailed Lesson Plan in Literature 1

I. Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, the students will be able to:

CHAPTER 5: INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIAL

Methodology
It aimed to explain the project design and the method in gathering data (in
making an improvise television etc.), techniques, sources of information and
procedure in collecting, analyzing and interpreting the data relevant to the project.

The researchers search in the library intensively for data gathering about the
related history of the epic “Bidasari” and the reasons why it was believed to be true
by the people especially in Malayan countries such as in the Philippines. The
researchers as well as inquire into the internet for further reference and to deepen
their knowledge about the origin of the epic “Bidasari”.

A. Development Process:
 Materials used in making the replica of television:

 Box
 Old newspapers and magazines

 2 pcs. of wood (any wood will do as soon as it has the same size)
 seeds
 Pastel colors
 Oil (cooking oil will do)
 Old piece of cloth/ cotton balls
 Black cartolina
 Old calendar
 Double sided tape
 Scissors
 Ruler
 Pencil
 Gawgaw (don’t know the English term)

 Procedure:

 For the gawgaw

12
1. Boil water (just follow the instructions. . .)

 For the story

1. Cut the calendar into ten with the measurement of 11” x 14’’ per
piece.
2. Using the back portion of the calendar, draw the scenes depicted in
the epic. Make sure that each picture is related to the event or part so
that the audience will easily understand the text itself through looking at
the pictures.
3. Using the pastel colors, color the drawings to become more appealing
to the audience. For best result, put a small amount of oil in a cotton balls
or piece of cloth and dab it to the colored illustrations.
4. Next, using the scissors cut the newspapers or the magazines into ten
with the measurement of 13” x 17” per piece.
5. Arrange in a line the newspapers/magazines vertically and glue it.
Arrange the illustrations according on how it appeared in the story. And
then, attach the illustrations on the newspapers/magazines. This will
serves as the “film” or episodes in the story.
6. For the students to understand further the story, put a subbed title in
every illustration and allow them to read silently.

 For the television

1. Make two holes in both opposite sides of the box. Make sure that the
wood can pass through the holes.
2. On the front part of the box, draw a square as a guide and cut it.
3. Wrap the entire box with black cartolina to create an impression that
the box is a television.
4. Placed the woods inside the box. Ensure that the woods overlap in the
hole. Attach the “Film” which you made earlier on the wood and roll it.
When both the film and the wood are inside the box. Use the overlap
wood in the hole to rotate it and to change the scene as the story teller
proceeds in the story.
