That day's theme was 'NEW CHALLENGE!!'
We had a big anxiety but that was so significant program day for Philipino teacher's empowerment.

The time is come!!!
We will plunge into the new world!!! 

In that day, the mission of the Philipino teachers are maiking the lesson plan that is focused on BAGON Rules, and implementing the demo lesson that rely on their 'BAGONG' lesson plan.

As we know, the program that is up to Day2 was same as Iloilo SAMURAI 6 work shop.
However, Day 3 was the unexperience program.
SAMURAIs were getting have sweat on thier hands. 















Today's line up is coming the below.

1) The demo lesson by JOCV. (We spread out the 4 groups. Ele-Science, Ele-Math, Sec-Science and Sec-Math .)

2) Creationg the 'BAGON' lesson plan by the local teachers

3) The demo lesson & feed beck by the local teachers

4) 'Home sweet home' emotinal closing ceremony


In that day, the domo lesson by Japanese greeted in the shinny morning that was advanced 'THE NEW WORLD'.  
SAMURAIs were really motivated!!

















Thereafter, the Philipino teachers were trying to create the 'BAGONG' lesson plan.
All of them ventured with highly motivation.
















The spectacle showcase was coming!
In shot lunch time, that courageous lady extended her feet to the market where is far from there using bus for finding out the treasure that entitled 'GOOD VISUAL AID' .
Awesome!!!!!
















In that venue, the roll of students were informed that the movie stars can make fabulous mistakes.   
















After honorble shooting, the feed back time was come.
In that class, they adopted posting system.















We could spectate the wonderful sceen what the opinion that treated BAGONG Rules shot out from honorable Philipino teachers,
Awesome!!!!!
The Philipino teachers ventured zealously beyond our expectation, that's why our group work became massive.
At the last, the most spectacle choir were coming!
We were really impressed due to unite our spilits!!
Bais SAMURAI's curtain fell like this. 















To be honest, we have some agendas, but we ensured that the program that is handled by Philipino is so fruitfull.
Daguhan salamat sa mga maestro sa Bais!!!!!

Demo lesson is important, because
Tomorrow, Philippine teacher will have the demo lesson.

Thus, we have to show the demo lesson, so that Philippine teacher adapt our lesson and their lesson.

It also Japanese style.
















Then, We had science show. It is always popular.
























In the afternoon, our first program is "Energizer"
 I was surprised. They love dancing. !
but, of course I love dancing  too !















After that, we explained "BAGONG rule".
Our presentation was improved than before.
and, TAGUTI's CP helped us. She explained about BAGONG's G : Good praise.

In addition, we explained about "teaching plan".
We requested them to use Japanese style lesson plan tomorrow.

We had two purposes.

Toshiyuki Taguchi was in charge of the article of Day1.

Bais City is small town in Negros Oriental. Main industry is agriculture, especially Sugarcane. There are  a lot of sugarcane field there.
There are 40 elementary schools and 17 high schools in Bais City.

Venue of our seminar-workshop was Bais City Central Elementary School. All science and Mathematics Coordinator of Elementary and Secondary school in Bais City attended our seminar-workshop. The number of participants was 120.


This is the schedule of the seminar-workshop
March 11 to 13 3days program in Bais City Central Elementary School, Bais City.
March 14         1day program in Negros Oriental High School, Dumaguete City.
March 15         1day program in Bais City High School, Bais City.



This is the program of Day1
1 Opening program
2 Explaining summary of SAMURAI6 seminar-workshop
3 Science show
4 Suggestion of teaching slow leaner.


The concept of the seminar-workshop is "TREASURE"

Why treasure?

Because,

We love children in the Philippines and they are the treasure of the Philippines.
They have unlimited potentials and they improve the Philippines.

Teachers are also treasure. Teacher teach not only subject but also how to live to children.
They have responsibilities to grow pupils and students.

The Philippines has a lot of treasure. Beautiful nature, mountains and sea. In addition, excellent people.

We showed science show to participants.
We conducted Optical Illusion, Bomb of Alcohol and The Game using theory of Inertia.



The participants could enjoy our show and some participants asked us to give them some material used in the show. We were very happy that some wanted our material for their science classes.



At this time, one of SAMURAI6 member, Kiyohide Ueda could not attend our seminar-workshop. However he helped me by teaching the theory of teaching slow learner to me. I want to give him special thanks.


We showed sample in the case of bad teacher and good teacher and The sample could make participants to understand easily.

We suggested five point of teaching slow learner.

1 Devising Notebook for Slow Learners
2 Writing by Manuscript
3 Waiting for Slow Learners
4 Checking students' results
5 Giving confidence










All of them are very easy to do in the class and we hope teachers to apply our ideas to their class.



 Some participants thought they didn't need the theory but it was OK. We hope them to do our suggestion.
