REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

According to the Philippines Star (2018), the local government of Alminos city is also strongly

promoting it's oyster to encourage eco-friendly mariculture projects that wl produce additional
livelihood to the marginalized fisher folks there.

Rabadon, the focal person fir the city's oyster development program, said they give materials needed for
culture like bamboo, rope and empty oyster shells. The researchers use this information to promote that
using seashells as an alternative chalk provide additional sources of income to the community people.

As reported by Abrahams (2011), schools still uses chalk, teachers brave the greatest direct risk." During
teaching; entry of chalk dust in the respiratory. System through nasopharyngeal region and mouth could
be extensive in teachers. Due to their proximity to the board and frequent opening of mouth during
lectures and occasional gasping and heavier breathing due to exhaustion. As per current state of
knowledge on particulate matter vis-a-vis chalk dust, it "may remain suspended in air for some time
before setting on the floor and body parts of the teachers and pupils."The scientist acknowledge that
chalk and chalkboards these days are being supplanted, in many schools, by whiteboards and other
more modern, less intrinsically. Dusty technology. But chalk still enjoys wide usage in many countries.
Chalk dust could be harmful to allergic persons and may cause lacrimation and breathing troubles in the
long run and certainly us a certainly is a constant nuisance in classrooms as it nag soil clothes, body
parts, audio visual aids and study materials. Using this information, the researcher decided to use the
shells to make chalk because the chalk out of seashells is for local or non-local used for schools or any
educational aspects or even at home which can be form into different sizes according to your will.
Blackboard which are also commonly known as chalkboards are one if the most basic part of a
classroom. These functional pieces make interaction between teachers and attention easier. But what
makes this pieces make useful is the writing material that goes with it and that is the chalk. Natural chalk
or calcium carbonate (CaCo3) is too soft. Calcium carbonate makes up to more than 4% of the earth's
crust and is found in almost every part of the world. West (2012) It's most common natural forms of
chalk, limestone, and marble, produced by the sedimentation of the shell of small fossilized snails,
shellfish, and coral over million of years. Chalk has been used from very early on the natural chalk rock
was used to create some of the earliest cave drawings that man know of. This mineral is extremely
abundant, and it is widely mined all over the world.
Using this information, the researcher decided to use alternative chalk for blackboard commonly known
as chalkboards. The researcher decided to use shells to make chalk because of it's natural appearance,
natural chalk are commonly made of calcium (CaCo3) or commonly know as seashells. That's why the
researcher used an alternative chalk for an alternate form of chalk to be used on chalkboard.
