Subject: Basic computer

Grade Level: Grade 6

Objective:
1. At the end of the lesson, the student must understand the basic components of a
computer.
2. At the end of the lesson, the student must be able to identify the functions of each
component.
3. At the end of the lesson, the student must demonstrate how to operate a computer
safely.

Learning within the curriculum:


1. Understanding the differences between hardware and software, which connects to
the current lesson by providing a foundation for identifying components.
2. Exploring the role of operating systems, which extends the objective by showing
how components work together to facilitate user tasks.

Learning across the curriculum:


1. The topic of digital citizenship, which is related to safe computer use and
responsible behavior online.
2. The concept of problem-solving in mathematics, which can be enhanced by using
computers for calculations and data analysis.

Review Motivation:
Teaching Strategy: Interactive/Integrated Learning
Instructional Materials: Computer hardware images, chart paper, markers
Energizer 1: "Component Charades" - Students will act out different computer
components without using words, while their classmates guess what they are.
Energizer 2: "Tech Bingo" - Students will play bingo with computer component
names and descriptions, encouraging them to think about each component's
function.

Activities
Activity 1: "Build a Computer"
Teaching Strategy: Cooperative Learning
Materials: Printed images of computer components, glue, chart paper
Significance: This activity helps students visualize how components fit together and
understand their functions collaboratively.

Instructions:
1. In groups, students will receive images of different computer components.
2. They will discuss and decide how to arrange these components on a chart paper
to represent a computer system.
3. Each group will present their arrangement and explain the function of each
component.

Rubrics:
- Creativity in arrangement: 5 pts.
- Clarity of explanation: 5 pts.
- Teamwork and collaboration: 5 pts.

Assessment Questions:
1. What are the main components of a computer?
2. How does each component contribute to the computer's function?
3. Why is teamwork important in this activity?
Activity 2: "Safe Computer Use Role-Play"
Teaching Strategy: Role-Playing
Materials: none
Significance: This activity promotes awareness of safe computer practices in an
engaging way.

Instructions:
1. Students will be divided into pairs and given scenarios involving computer use
(e.g., downloading software, sharing personal information).
2. Each pair will role-play their scenario, demonstrating safe and unsafe practices.
3. After each role-play, the class will discuss what was done correctly or incorrectly.
Rubrics:
- Understanding of safe practices: 5 pts.
- Creativity in role-play: 5 pts.
- Participation and engagement: 5 pts.

Assessment Questions:
1. What are some safe practices when using a computer?
2. What risks are involved in unsafe computer use?
3. How can we protect our personal information online?

Analysis:
Activity 1 - Students demonstrated their understanding of computer components and
their functions through collaborative arrangement and explanation, reflecting the
objective of identifying and understanding each component.
Activity 2 - The role-playing activity allowed students to engage in critical thinking
about safety, directly connecting to the objective of operating a computer safely.

Abstraction:
The main point of the lesson is to understand the basic components of a computer,
their functions, and the importance of safe computer use. Recognizing the roles of
hardware and software can deepen students' understanding of how computers
operate. Understanding digital citizenship can reinforce the importance of safe
practices in technology use.

Application:
Teaching Strategy: Problem-Based Learning
1. Task: Students will create a poster that highlights safe computer practices and the
functions of each computer component.
2. Task: Students will write a short story about a character who learns to use a
computer safely, incorporating the components discussed.
Discussion: Students will share their posters and stories, discussing how the
components of a computer help users achieve tasks and the importance of safety in
technology use.

Assessment:
Teaching Strategy: Discussion-Based Assessment

Questions:
1. What are the key components of a computer?
2. How do these components work together to operate a computer?
3. What are some common mistakes people make when using computers?

For Higher Order Thinking Skills:

Questions:
1. Why is it important to understand both hardware and software?
2. How can improper use of a computer affect a user's experience?
3. What might happen if a computer component fails?

Answers:
1. Understanding both is crucial as hardware and software work together to perform
tasks, and knowing this helps in troubleshooting.
2. Improper use can lead to security breaches, data loss, or hardware damage,
impacting the efficiency of the computer.
3. If a component fails, it can disrupt the entire system's functionality, highlighting the
importance of each part in the overall operation.

Assignment:
1. Write a reflection on a time you encountered a problem while using a computer
and how you resolved it, focusing on the components involved.
