                                       Teaching with Dramatized Experiences
        Dramatization is essentially a process of communication, in which both participants and spectators are engaged. A creative interaction takes place, a sharing of ideas. Dramatic is something that is stirring or affecting or moving. Dramatized experiences can range from the formal plays, pageants to less formal pantomime, tableau, puppets and role-playing. Plays depict life, character, or culture or a combination of all three. This portray vividly important ideas about life. Pageants are usually community dramas that are based on local history, presented by local actors. Pantomime is the art of conveying a story through bodily movements only. Tableau a french word which means picture this is a picture-like scene composed of people against a background. Puppets presents ideas with extreme simplicity without elaborate scenery or costume. Role-playing is an unrehearsed, unprepared and spontaneous dramatization. This is highly effective for lessons in the affective domain. A dramatic entrance is something that catches and holds the attention of our students and it has an emotional impact. Dramatic experiences cater to students' multiple intelligences. Plays, pageants, pantomimes, tableaus, puppets, and role-playing are obviously most fir for kinesthetically intelligent.When pantomimes, tableau, and puppets are accompanied by music, musical intelligent is at work. This cannot be implemented by individuals alone. This should have a team to come up this, the interpersonal intelligent is at work.

                                              Demonstration
            Demonstration is showing how a thing is done and emphasizing of a salient merits, utility, and efficiency of a concept a method or a process or an attitude. Demonstration is something very handy. It requires no elaborate preparation and yet as effective as the other instructional materials when done properly. A good demonstration is an audio-visual presentation. We future teacher we must be accompanied by some visual in demonstration to make it effective. To plan and prepare adequately for a demonstration, we first determine our goals, the materials we need, our steps, and rehearse. That is very important to make the demonstration effective. In the actual conduct of the demonstration itself we see to it that we:
*Get and sustain the interest of our audience
*Keep our demonstration simple, focused and clear
*Do not hurry nor drag out the demonstration
*Check for understanding in the process of demonstration
*Conclude with a summary and
* Hand out written materials at the end of the demonstration.

                           Contrived Experience                                                                                                             
      In these lesson I learned that contrived experiences are basically needed in teaching learning process wherein it is refers to as substitute of real things when it is not feasible to bring real to the class. Contrived experiences is very important to me as a future teacher. In this, i should immerse my student in this area to develop their ability and skills in this field. This contrived experiences are designed to simulate to real life situation and it is needed in both teacher and the students in their learning.

                                              Direct Purposeful Experiences
           Direct purposeful experiences are firsthand experiences that serves as the foundation of our learning. The opposite of direct experiences are indirect or vicarious experiences. Direct experiences lead us to concept formation and abstraction. In teaching learning process, it is learning by doing. We can learn everything from our experiences in life. Through our five senses we experience different , we learn from it and it become memorable on us and become part of our life.
