Young minds. These are what we have in the classroom. They are children who really love to play, watch and listen to something that are magical and promote friendship. In this era, there are television shows which center is friendship. Most of these are anime.

Kids love watching anime. They even sometime imitate their actions or even their costumes. It tickles their interest which is hard to explain. But what thing is certain, they can be considered as fans of the main characters.

Teaching requires a careful presentation especially if the clients are young. They are very sensitive on what are the things in front of them. They are picky with what they want to see and what they want to hear.

In a lesson presentation, everything starts with motivation. The anime characters may serve as springboard of learning. When kids see their favorite anime character, they focus their sight to the teachers’presentation. Thus, pupil participation becomes inevitable.

When pupils participate actively, their academic performance increases. The chances of mastering the prescribed competencies reaches up which is the main goal of classroom instruction.
