1 Opening program

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.
