▎1. Objectives:
• Understand the basics of SQL (Structured Query Language) for database manipulation.
• Learn how to perform basic SQL operations: SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE.
---
• Key Concepts: SQL Syntax, SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, WHERE clause, ORDER BY, and LIMIT.
---
▎3. Classroom Organization:
• Seating Arrangement:
• A projector and whiteboard at the front for visual aids and notes.
• Computers or laptops available for each student or group for hands-on practice.
---
• Present an engaging question: "Why do you think SQL is considered the standard language for
managing databases?"
• Explain the syntax of each command and how to use clauses like WHERE, ORDER BY, and LIMIT.
• Show a live demonstration using a database management tool (e.g., MySQL Workbench or SQLite).
• Provide students with a set of SQL exercises to complete in pairs or small groups.
• Circulate among groups to provide support and feedback as they practice writing and executing SQL
commands.
5. Closure (5 minutes):
---
• Note-taking: Take notes on SQL commands and syntax presented during the lecture.
• Hands-on Practice: Work collaboratively in pairs or groups to complete SQL exercises using a database
management tool.
• Reflection: Share insights or difficulties encountered during the practice session during closure.
---
▎6. Assessment:
• Formative Assessment:
• Ask probing questions to assess understanding of SQL commands and their applications.
• Exit Ticket:
• At the end of class, have students write down one SQL command they learned today and describe its
purpose.
