STRATERGIESDuration Stratergies Descriptions

8:00- 8:10 AM (10 minutes)

Brainstorming 1) Start with a question: Ask the students if they know what is

the four main components of a computer ?

8:10-8:20 AM (10 minutes)

Brainstorming 2) Show a picture of a computer and ask them to identify input,

output, process and storage device. Ask them to keep their

answers.

8:20-8:30 AM (10 minutes)

Story - telling 3) Then, show them a video about the toaster. After that show a

Problem Solving 7) Reinforcement: TASK 1: Give them pictures of computer hardware and ask them to identify what roles it plays in computer processing. TASK 2: MCQ

The Toaster

The Computer

4 Components of ComputerThe four primary components of a computer system are:

•Processing

Output

•Input

Secondary Storage

Input devices send data and instructions to the central processing unit.

Central processing unit executes computer instructions. Memory holds data and programs temporarily.

Output devices make processed data available to the user. The electronic component that interprets and carries out the basic instructions that operate the computer

Also called a Central Processing Unit (CPU)

Secondary storage devices store data and programs permanently.Holds data, instructions, and information for future use

TASK SHEET 1Based on your knowledge identify what roles does each computer hardware plays in computer processing and explain your answer.

HOW SMART

ARE YOU?
