Check the light-neither be too bright nor too dim.
Check whether blackboard is clear before and after the use.
Keep required amount of chalks and a duster.
Stand on one side of the blackboard and do not come in
between the board and the pupils.
Use a pointer for explaining various points especially, that of
a diagram.
Avoid squeezing noise of the chalk while writing.
Press the chalk while writing, in such a way that it does not
strain your fingers but at the same time the writing should be
bright.
Clean and erase the blackboard in such a way that it does
not get filled with chalk dust, never use fingers to erase.
Avoid committing mistakes in the content written on the
blackboard.

Distinct difference between letters. Every letter
should be distinct.
Spacing between letters and words should not be
too little or too great.
Slantness of each letter should be closest to the
vertical because it makes reading easier.
Size of the letters should be large enough to be
read by the students of the last row.
Size of the capital letters should be just bigger than
that of small letters, but not much exaggerated.
Sizes of the capital and small letters – all the
capitals should be of the same size and all small
letters should be of the same size.
Thickness of the lines should be in same width.
2. Neatness in Black Board Work
The neatness of the black board work
includes 1.

The words and sentences should be written in
horizontal line. Parallel to the base of black
board.
There should be adequate spacing between the
lines.
There should not be over writing.
Relevant matter, which is to be focused during
class room work should be retained on the black
board.
3. Appropriateness of written work on the
black board
The content is of two types-letters/words/sentences
and diagrams/illustrations. The appropriateness of the
work includes continuity, brevity and simplicity, and
drawing attention and focusing.

Continuity in the points:
- There should be continuity in the points being
presented on the black board.
- The pupils will know how the lesson has been
developed.
- Continuity means a point should be logically
related to the previous one.


Brevity and simplicity:
- While writing summary at the end of the lesson
give only the salient points in the lesson, which
form the gist.
- Write in simple and clear language.
Drawing attention and focusing:
- Underline the important points.
- Use colored chalks to draw the pupils’ attention,
for emphasizing some points or for bringing
contrast with other matter being presented on the
black board.

Teacher : Today we will learn about “The Circulatory System”.

It consists of The Blood
The Blood Vessels
The Heart
The Constituents of the blood are Plasma
Red Blood Corpuscles
The White Blood Corpuscles
There are three different types of Blood vessels – arteries, veins and
capillaries.
The third and the most important part of the circulatory system is the
heart.
The Internal Structure of the Heart
(The teacher draws the structure of the Heart)
The Heart is divided into four chambers, they are
1.
The Right Auricle
2.
The Right Ventricle
3.
The Left Auricle
4.
The Left Ventricle
The blood cannot flow from the right to the left side but it flows from
the right auricle to the right ventricle through the Tricuspid
Valve, and from the left auricle to the left ventricle through
Bicuspid valve.
The two veins – Superior vena cava and Inferior vena cava – brings
the blood from the right ventricle to the lungs.
There are four Pulmonary Veins – Which bring pure blood from the
lungs to the left auricle.
Aorta is the biggest artery which takes the pure blood to the
different parts of the body.
The heart
