10. Basic Procedures in the Use of TV as a
Supplementary Enrichment
 Prepare the classroom.(If your school has a permanent
viewing room, the classroom preparatory work will be less
for you.)
- Darken the room. Remember that complete darkness
is not advisable for television viewing. Your students may
need to take down notes while viewing.
- The students should not be seated too near nor to far
from the television. No student should be farther from
the set than the number of feet that the picture that
represent in inches. A 24-inch set mean no student
farther than 24 feet from the set.

11.  - Point out the key points they need to focus on. It
helps if you give them guide question which
become the foci of post viewing discussions. Omit
this, if you are using an interactive video and the
source speaker himself/herself give the question
for interactive discussion in the process of
viewing.
Pre-viewing Activities

12. • Just make sure sight and sound are clear.
You were supposed to have checked on this
when you did your pre –viewing.
Viewing

13. To make them feel at ease begin by asking the following
questions:
1). What do 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 question are you asking the film?(Write them down . You
have not to end the class without answering them to make your
students feel that everyone and everything matter. Nothing or
nobody is taken from granted.)
Post-Viewing

14.  Go to the question you raised at the pre-viewing stage.
Engage the student in the discussion of answers. Check for
understanding.
 Tackle question raised by students at the initial stage of the
post-viewing discussion. Involve the rest of the class.
 Asked what the student learned. Find cut how they can
apply what they learned. Several techniques can be use
for this purpose. A simple yet effective technique is the
completion of unfinished sentence .
 Summarize what was learned. You may include whatever
transpired in the class discussion in the summary but don’t
forget your summary on your lesson objectives.
