Paper Works "Preparing Hand-Outs"

My Target

At the end of this activity, you will gain competence in preparing instructional materials (hand-outs) that are appropriate to the learning content.

My Map

With a lot of reflective thinking coupled with your creativity, you can design hand-outs that will truly work to make learning effective. You will see that preparing hand-outs is not just any paper work. When you produce high quality hand-outs and eventually try them out, you will discover that, indeed, paper works!

To reach your target, follow the below:

1. Prepare handouts for a selected topic. (i.e., flowcharts, schema, graphic organizers). 
2. Describe your handouts.
3. Present it to your FS teacher before reproducing it. 

My Tools

As you prepare your hand-outs, use the activity form below.

My Analysis


After working on your handout, answer the following questions:What are the good features of a handout?

A good hand-out must contain the following features among others:
🔎Illustrations
         🔎Graphics
🔎Diagrams and/or Charts
🔎Summarized information
🔎Properly sequenced
🔎Test of Understanding (Questions to answer or a worksheet)

However, these features may vary depending on the subject matter and lesson topics.

Which of these features are present in the handout I made?

All the features mentioned above are present in the handout that I made. It was comprehensive, easy to understand, and it has all the information that the students must know about the topic. The details on the handouts were arranged accordingly as well. Also, I added a "test of understanding" (worksheet) for the students to practice on.

Which features are not present in the handout I made?

None as all features that a handout must have are all found in the handout that I made.                    
                                                                                   

My Reflections


What difficulties, if any, did you encounter in making the handouts? How did you overcome them?

Making a handout is really not difficult but the only challenge in conceptualizing one is to make sure that the information is concise, comprehensible, and uncluttered. This is the reason why having an outline helps a lot because it allows the teacher to write information that is significant to the topic. Too much information is also not helpful because it can lead to confusion.

What tips can you give teachers regarding preparation of handouts?

Teachers must always use the lesson objectives in creating handouts. Making an outline is necessary to be able to properly conceptualize the flow of information. Also, several references will give a more comprehensive and informative contents that will further enhance students' knowledge about the topic discussed.
