 Strand: Introduction to Computers
 Sub-strand: Uses of Main Parts of a Computer

Target: I can identify the main parts of a computer to describe their uses.

Steps Lesson Progression

- Activity: Show a computer system and ask students, "What parts can you
Introduction name on this computer, and what do you think they do?"
- TPT: Cold Call: Students share their responses one at a time.

- Scenario: Imagine you are in a library, and the computer is missing one part
(e.g., the keyboard, monitor, or mouse).
- Strategic Question: “How would the missing part affect what you can do
Grapple
with the computer?”
- TPT: Turn-and-Talk: Students discuss in pairs and share ideas with the
class.

- Explanation: Introduce the main parts of a computer: monitor, CPU,

keyboard, mouse, and speakers. Explain the function of each part using
simple, relatable examples (e.g., the keyboard helps you type, the monitor
Mini Lesson
helps you see).
- Visual Aids: Show labeled pictures of the computer parts and demonstrate
their uses.

- Activity: In groups, students are given images of computer parts. They will
Guided
match each part to its name and description of its function.
Practice
- Peer Review: Groups compare answers and explain their matches.

- Task: Students draw a computer system and label its main parts. Below the
drawing, they will write one sentence about what each part is used for.
Independent
- Strategic Question: “Why is each part important for using a computer?”
Practice
- TPT: Think-Pair-Share: Students share their drawings and sentences with a
partner.

- Class Discussion: Reflect on how all the parts of a computer work together.
Debrief - TPT: Exit Ticket: Students write one thing they learned about the parts of a
computer and one question they still have.

 Target: I can explore other computer parts to understand their functions.

Steps Lesson Progression

- Review: Briefly recap the main parts of a computer (e.g., monitor, keyboard,
mouse, CPU).

Introduction - Activity: Display images of less familiar computer parts (e.g., speakers, webcam,
and UPS) and ask: "Can you name these parts or guess what they are used for?"
- Prompt: "Why do computers have these additional parts?"
- TPT: Think-Pair-Share.

- Scenario: "Imagine you are using a computer to have a video call with a friend.
What extra parts might you need, and why?"
Grapple
- Task: Discuss and list the parts and their purposes.
- TPT: Turn-and-Talk.

- Explanation: Teacher explains the functions of other computer parts (e.g.,

Mini Lesson speakers for sound, webcam for video, UPS for power backup).
- Use real objects or visuals for demonstration.

- Activity: Students work in small groups to match computer parts (pictures or real
Guided Practice
objects) with their functions on a chart provided by the teacher.

Individual - Task: Students draw and label at least three computer parts and write a sentence
Practice about what each part does (e.g., "Speakers help us hear sounds.").

- Reflection: "How do these other parts improve the way we use computers?"
Debrief - TPT: Exit Ticket: Students write one new computer part they learned about and
how they might use it.

  Grade: 2

 Subject: STEM

 Target: I can explore how computers are used in different fields to understand their impact.

Steps Lesson Progression

- Review: Ask students what they know about computers and where they have seen them
used.
Introduction - Prompt: "Can you think of places where you’ve seen computers being used?"
- TPT: Think-Pair-Share: Students think about a place where computers are used, share
with a partner, and then share with the class.

- Scenario: "Imagine you’re in a hospital and a doctor is using a computer. What do you
think the computer is helping the doctor do?"
Grapple
- Task: Discuss with a partner.
- TPT: Cold Call: Select students to share their ideas.

- Explanation: Teacher introduces various fields where computers are used (e.g., in
Mini Lesson hospitals, schools, farms, offices, and space exploration). Show images or videos of
computers being used in these fields.

- Activity: Students work in pairs to match different computer images or functions (e.g., a
Guided
computer in a hospital, in a school, on a farm, etc.) to the right field. They will present
Practice
their findings to the class.

- Task: Students draw a picture of a computer in a field of their choice (e.g., farm, hospital,
Individual
or school) and write a sentence about how the computer is helping in that field (e.g.,
Practice
"Computers help doctors look at patients' health.")

- Reflection: "How do computers make things easier in different fields?"

Debrief - TPT: Exit Ticket: Students write one way they think computers can help in another field
they didn’t learn about today.

Strand: The Desktop

Sub-strand: Components of the Desktop

  Date: 10TH February 2025
 Grade: 2
 Subject: ICT

Target: I can explore the components of the desktop to understand

their functions.

Step Lesson Progression

- Engage: Display an image of a computer desktop on the screen to help learners
visualize the topic.
- Strategic Question (SQ): "What do you see on the screen when a computer is turned
Introduction
on?" to activate curiosity and prior knowledge.
- TPT: Think-Pair-Share – Learners discuss what they already know about the desktop
to encourage participation.
- Individual Activity: Show learners image of desktop components (icons, taskbar,
start menu) to challenge them to identify what they recognize.
Grapple & Discussion - SQ: "What do these parts do? Why are they important?"

- TPT: Turn-and-Talk – Learners discuss with a partner to explore their understanding.

- Connection: Relate the desktop to a real-world scenario, like a school desk, to help
learners understand organization.
- Teaching: Introduce key desktop components to provide clarity:
1. Icons – Small pictures that open programs.
Mini-Lesson 2. Taskbar – A bar at the bottom that shows open programs and shortcuts.
3. Start Menu – A button that provides access to all programs.
4. Wallpaper – The background image that personalizes the desktop.
- Visual Aid: Use a live demonstration on a projector to help learners see each
component in action.
- Activity: Learners work in pairs to explore a real or simulated desktop to identify
different components.
Guided Practice
- Teacher Feedback: Walk around to assist and ask guiding questions to reinforce
understanding.
- Task: Learners complete a worksheet where they match desktop components to their
functions to check comprehension.
Worktime/Assessment
- Extension: Early finishers arrange printed desktop icons in the correct order on a
paper model to deepen their understanding.
- Reflection: "Which part of the desktop do you think is the most useful? Why?" to
encourage critical thinking.
Debrief
- TPT: Exit Ticket – Learners draw and label the desktop components to demonstrate
retention.
