MY HAND-OUTS

Napkin Folding
• is a type of decorative folding done with a napkin. It can be done as art or as a hobby.
• is most commonly encountered as a table decoration in fancy restaurants.
• Typically, and for best results, a clean, pressed, and starched square cloth (linen or cotton) napkin is used.
• There are variations in napkin folding in which a rectangular napkin, a napkin ring, a glass, or multiple napkins may be used.

Examples of Napkin Folding
• The Pyramid Napkin Fold - This classy napkin folding technique is simple, fast, and can be made easily with most napkins. If the napkin being used is thin and flops easily then iron it with light starch prior to folding and it will turn out perfectly!

1. Lay the napkin face down in front of you
2. Fold the napkin in half diagonally
3. Rotate the napkin so the open end faces away from you.
4. Fold the right end up to meet the far corner, ensuring the edge of this new fold lays on the centerline as shown.
5. Repeat the last step with the left side, folding the left tip up to the far corner, creating a diamond shape with a seam running down the center.
6. Turn the napkin over, keeping the open end facing away from you.
7. Fold the napkin in half by bringing the farthest point of the diamond up and back to the nearest point.
8. Turn the napkin over again, this time keeping the open end facing towards you.
9. Fold the napkin along the center seam and you have a neat, sturdy pyramid. If your napkin won't stand neatly then you may need a little starch.

• The Arrow Napkin Folding - This method of folding napkins is very simple and can be done with almost any napkin without a need for starch. It adds a flowing, elegant look to your table.

1. Lay the napkin face down in front of you.
2. Fold the napkin in half and orient the open end towards you.
3. Fold the far-right corner over to the center of the side that is closest to you. The edge of this fold should run down the center of the napkin.
4. Repeat the last step with the other side, folding the far-left corner in to rest along side the previous fold.
5. Fold the right-flap out diagonally so that it's outer edge runs even with the far edge of the napkin.
6. Repeat the previous step on the other side, folding the left-flap out diagonally to meet the far edge of the napkin.
7. Slide the left and the right sides together, allowing the napkin to bend at the farthest point. This will cause the flat, center part to bow.

• Bird of Paradise Napkin Folding - This is a classic and classy napkin folding technique that requires a stiff napkin. If you don't have any dinner napkins made of stiff linen then a light starching should fix you right up.

1. Lay the napkin face down in front of you
2. Fold the napkin in half.
3. Fold the napkin in quarters.
4. Fold the napkin in half diagonally, creating a triangle.
5. Orient the triangle so the open tip is facing away from you.
6. Fold the right corner diagonally towards you - laying it down along the centerline of the triangle, making a new tip pointing towards you. An iron can make this important fold a whole lot easier.
7. Do the same with the left corner, fold it diagonally toward you and press it down next to the previous fold. Now you have a diamond, you're rich!
8. Fold the two "wings" that you just made in folds 6 and 7 under so that you have your original triangle shape back. Once again an iron can make a world of difference.
9. Fold the triangle in half by bringing the center seam towards you and allowing the ends to fall.
10. This bird's almost ready to fly, but first you must give it some feathers. While holding the base firmly to keep your folds together, pull up the four 'flaps' created by the napkin's corners.

• Diamond Fold - Got some really limp napkins and want something nice to make without eating up too much time? Then this one's for you, if you're using thick/stiff napkins then an iron will help.

1. Lay the napkin face-down in front of you.
2. Fold the napkin in half and orient the open end toward you.
3. Fold the napkin into quarters.
4. Fold the top-most layer of the napkin in half diagonally - up and to the left.
5. Fold the next layer of napkin diagonally up and to the left, stopping slightly before the last fold to create an even, staggered effect.
6. Repeat by folding up the next layer of napkin to a point just before the last one.
7. And one last time with one last layer. Keep them as uniform as you can.
8. Now fold both sides of the napkin under and in to create an even, staggered diamond effect on the napkin. Press it down as flat as possible and you're ready for guests within 60 seconds!

• The Cone Napkin Folding - This nice napkin design originated from the napkin-worshiping Indians native to Guam called the dirty-wipey-nappies...or not. An iron will be helpful.

1. Lay the napkin face down in front of you.
2. Fold the napkin in half diagonally.
3. Orient the napkin so the open corner faces away from you.
4. Fold the left-most corner diagonally so the point rests on top of the far corner.
5. Repeat the last step with the right side, bringing this fold evenly along to the last one.
6. Turn the napkin over, keeping the open ends pointing away from you.
7. Evenly fold the bottom third of the napkin up and press it down well. An iron may be needed here.
8. Fold both the left and right sides back and underneath the napkin evenly to create the finished product seen here. That looks so nice I bet you just can't wait to smear food on it!

Tools
In the presentation, describe how the tool was used in a particular lesson/time.
Ø The tool was used in a given time of 2 hours. The teacher gives hand-out to her students individually and discussed first the things found in hand outs. Then later on, she gives time to her students to study the given examples and let them perform.

My Analysis
Which feature of the hand-out is not effective?
Ø I think the feature of the hand-out which is not effective is the hand-out itself because sometimes hand-outs are ignored after unlike books which are given much attention and need to be keep. Hand outs for other students are usually a paper that serves as referral for just that day and not for a long last. But me, all my hand outs will be keep because I know someday it will be utilize. Sometimes, my mom use to throw all in the garbage but I always warn her how important those papers.

What is measured by assessment plan? Is it process or product? Explain.
Ø Assessment plan this time measured not only the process but also the product. Process measured according to what the teacher discussed based on the hand outs given and also on how the students follow or understand what all is about. Product, in the sense that the teacher allow students to perform individually based on the given examples on how to fold a napkin. The product itself will be very important to determine whether the students catch up the lesson.

My Reflection
Recall any difficulties encountered in making hand-outs? How did you overcome them?
Ø To make a hand-out is not totally difficult. The only thing that it took time and needed brain storming when I made my handout is the conceptualization of the flow of my handout and the diagrams as well as the concept map that I should included. So first I did was to make an outline of the content of my handout. Then I read several references to form my concept map.

My Analysis
Based on the slide presentation you have made, what are the features of a good slide presentation?
1. A good slide presentation must be concise, direct to the point and insightful at the same time. It can have transitions and animations to emphasize a point but should not be too much ‘coz it can destruct to the students. Its design, layout, and formatting should be balance with the concept presented.
2. Information are visible for all
3. Easy to operate
4. Fonts are big and clear
5. Simple and short
6. Follow the 6x6 rule
7. Simple transitions
8. Clear, inviting backgrounds, images, fonts, color
9. Enhancements: graphics, animation, sound effects, music, hyperlink

How do you describe your slide presentation in terms of its good features?

My Reflection What difficulties have you encountered in preparing the slide presentation?
Ø So far, I didn't encounter any difficulties in preparing my slide presentation because I know already on how to use or make a power point presentation since I was in high school. I have already the knowledge about it.

What were the feedback's of the class about your slide presentation?
Ø When I get their feedback about my presentation, the students mostly said that it is nice. Maybe, they are only kids and the only word they know is nice.

My Reflections Write your reflection on your experience.
Ø As I go on with my episode 7 in this field study, I find it a little bit hard in deciding what topic should I search and I come up to one topic. Through internet, we can easily search and look on the things and information we want to know. That was also made by technologies.

How did you find the task of surfing the net relevant in generating more information for your support materials to the topic?
Ø At first, I find it confusing but later on as I go on surfing there are lot of things and information I gain because the things I want to know was there. I just need to surf and surf ‘til I find information that can support to my topic.
Insights
Imagine how schools located in communities without internet facilities cope with this need.
Ø I feel so disgusting for those schools without internet facilities because it is very useful to the students in the process of their learning. Aside from that, students should involve in fast and new trends in the community so that they will not left behind when it comes to technologies. They will explore and have an easy way of learning. To cope with this need, maybe a teacher will show or introduced some technologies advancement to his/her students. Teach them how to use those technologies and how technologies will help them. Maybe also the teacher or the school heads request materials for their students.
