The advantages of using handouts in class are that we can follow Teacher Angs discussion and we will no longer be worried in taking down notes. In terms of Manila paper and pictures mostly of the class are visual learners and it is easier for them to understand the lesson. For bulletin board, it easily gives them the information. However, there are disadvantages of the mentioned materials such as not listening because of the hand-outs provided with the teacher. For Manila paper and pictures the disadvantage of them is the size of the picture and the letters. And for the bulletin board, it consumes space in the classroom.
