SUMMARY:
                   "You should have a good idea of your destination, both in the overall purposes of education and in the everyday work of your teaching. If you don't know where you are going , you can't properly choose a way to get there".

                      Instructional materials are used to attain instructional goals or objectives. Its not enough to have only instructional materials but to have an effective and efficient instructional materials. There are guidelines and ought to be observed and it is in their selection and use.

                      The selection of materials, following some guide questions will help the teacher attain the objectives at the end of the class..this includes the concept of selecting the lesson, it's information and idea, age and ability of the student, physical condition,worthy of materials and the guide to what the teacher going to do.

                      On the other hand, after selecting the materials, we can't say that we can utilized it well, it's another thing is to use it well.

                       I learned that as a teacher it is important to have an instructional materials in order to catch the attention and interest of the student. It is said that instructional materials help to attain instructional objectives. And I believe on it, because it is one strategy of a teacher to present their topic in an organize and presentable manner. But considering the  fact, not all teacher is effective in using it that's why this lesson suggest some guidelines on how to use and evaluate instructional materials.
