Unlocking word difficulty

I have here some words that you will encounter
as we go along with our lesson for this day.

(At this point, students will be asked to read.

This is to check the literacy capacity of the
students. Words and corresponding
meaning/function are being posted on the
board)

To test your reading skills, I want you read the

following :

Now, we are going to have an activity. But

before that, I want you to be aware of our
objectives for this meeting.

(This time both literacy and numeracy capacity

will be tested.)

the given steps.
D. Observe safety precautions in the
workplace

Good!
How many objectives do we have? Everybody answered “4”

Very good! You are excellent both in literacy

and numeracy.

ACTIVITY
For your activity, let us divide the class into 3
groups.

(The class will be divided into three groups.)

Ok counts off 1 to 3. 1..2..3….1..2..3….

The first group will occupy this area. Second

group on the right corner and the third group at
the back.

So, are you ready now? Yes Ma’am.

Now, here’s the direction. At the count of 10, I

want you to go to your respective groups
silently.

Each group will be given one envelope with 1

set of instructions. In 10 minutes, arrange the
instructions in proper order on how to connect
external peripherals to the computer. I want to
see that everyone participates in the activity.
After that, one presenter from each group will
present their output.

Any questions? No Ma’am.

You may go to your respective group now. (Students went to their respective
1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..10 group.)

(The group were given an envelope)

Ok, you may start your activity.

ANALYSIS
How do you find the activity? Was it We find it interesting and

to bigger ones.
Do you think you were able to arrange the set
of instructions in proper order? We are not sure Ma’am.

Ok, let me check your works.

(The teacher checks their work on the board

one by one.)
Great job class! You almost did the it right. It
only shows that you did your assignments.

ABSTRACTION
To further discuss the topic for this day, I am
going to demonstrate to you how to connect
external peripherals to the computer.

Before you connect, please be reminded of the

following safety precautions to avoid any
accident or something that will put you in
danger.

Everybody, please read the safety precautions (The students read the 4 safety
posted on the board. precautions.)

1. Strictly follow the correct procedure.

2. Don’t force components into
computer ports. If it isn’t going in with
normal procedure, something is
wrong. Ask for help as needed.
3. The proper way to hold the
peripherals in connecting to a
computer is to its head.
4. Check all circuits and installations
before power is applied.
5. Power supplies produce several level
of voltage. Read the information
carefully and make sure the power
supply is appropriate for the
application.

Good!

demonstration.)

Class, this is how we are going to connect the

peripherals. In connecting peripherals, consider
the difficult peripherals to connect first up to the
easiest ones.

Steps in connecting external peripherals:

1. VGA Cable
Using a VGA cable, connect and tighten the
screws on the monitor cable to secure it.
2. PS/2 keyboard and mouse (for non-USB
type)
For keyboard, plug it into the purple keyboard
port at the back of the computer, while green
mouse port for the mouse connection.
3. USB Keyboard and Mouse
To connect the keyboard, find the USB port and
connect it carefully. The same procedure for the
mouse.
4. RJ 45 Connector
Locate the Ethernet port. Line up the tab of RJ -
45 connector with the top notch in Ethernet port
until you hear a slight click.
5. Audio jack
Locate your computer’s audio-out port. Plug the
audio jack by its color code one by one.
6. Power Cable
Locate the two power supply cables that came
with your computer. Plug the first power supply
cable into the back of the computer case.
7. Finally, after you connect the power cable
into the power port, you can now connect in a
safe outlet.

To disconnect the peripherals, procedures must

start from the last step upwards or shall we say,
the reverse step.

Were you able to get the proper Yes Ma’am

procedures/steps in connecting the peripherals
class?

Ok good!.

APPLICATION
I believe you are all ready and confident
enough to perform the procedure. Now it’s your
turn to do the actual demonstration. Let’s do it
one by one.

Now, do you have any questions before we Ma’am, do we still need to

proceed to your actual demonstration? disconnect the external
peripherals for our actual

port until you hear a slight click.

e. USB PORT
To connect the keyboard, find the USB port
and connect it carefully. The same procedure
for the mouse.
