As we go around Caruhatan National High School, Ive noticed that their bulletin boards are
only few. Most of those are owned by RCY and SSC but there are still by Math and Filipino
Departments. Those bulletin boards were displayed in different places like near in the head office,
stairs near to the principals office and the like. All of those were readable, well presented and have a
good design. They can still improve this by putting challenge questions to involve learners and catch
their attention.

From among the board displays that you saw, pick the one that you got most
interested in. Evaluate it using the evaluation form below.

Your Analysis

Did the board display design reflect the likes/interests of its target audience? Why? or
Why not?

Yes, the design is nice and can get the interest of the students to look on a
particular bulletin board. And the information needed is enough.

Was the language used clear and simple for the target audience to understand? Why? or
Why not?

Yes, the grammar in the bulletin board is correct. And I think every student will
understand what the purpose of this bulletin board was.

What do you think was the purpose of the board display? Was it effective? Why? or Why
not?

The purpose of every bulletin board is to show the students the achievements of
every activity/events in their school and what are the upcoming events. I think yes, it is effective
because the students see what are the achievements of their classroom. And give some facts or
information .

What suggestions can you make?

Insert some challenge question that will answer by the students and to get their
attention to look on this bulletin board. In every bulletin board learners should be involve.

Based on your suggestions, purposed an enhanced version of the display board.

Cutting- to cut some letters or pictures
Creative- think some design that will make it interested
Resourceful- not all times you need to buy anything sometimes its nice to use
recycled materials.

these skills.
