Topic   : Classification of Computer on the basis of Size                                                                                                                         Duration: 45 minutes

Objective:

Students will understand the classification of computers based on their size and capabilities.

Materials Needed:

1. Whiteboard and markers
2. Projector and computer (optional)
3. Handouts with information on different types of computers
4. Chart paper and sticky notes
5. Internet access for research (if available)

Introduction (5 minutes):

• Begin with a brief review of the previous class to connect the current lesson with prior knowledge.
• Introduce the topic: "Today, we will explore the classification of computers based on their size. Computers come in various sizes, and each type serves different purposes."

Main Content (25 minutes):

1. Mini-Lecture (15 minutes):
   • Discuss the primary classification of computers based on size:
     • Supercomputers
     • Mainframe Computers
     • Minicomputers
     • Microcomputers (Personal Computers)
   • Explain the characteristics and typical uses of each type.
2. Group Activity - Sticky Notes (10 minutes):
   • Divide the class into small groups.
   • Provide each group with chart paper and sticky notes.
   • Ask each group to create a chart with information about one type of computer (supercomputers, mainframe computers, minicomputers, microcomputers). Include characteristics, uses, and examples.
   • Encourage creativity and collaboration within the groups.

Interactive Discussion (10 minutes):

• Have each group present their chart to the class.
• Encourage questions and discussion among students.
• Clarify any misconceptions and emphasize key points.

Application Exercise (5 minutes):

• Distribute a worksheet with questions related to the classification of computers.
• Students should answer the questions individually or in pairs.
• Review the answers as a class to reinforce understanding.

Conclusion (5 minutes):

• Summarize the key points covered in the lesson.
• Connect the classification of computers to real-life examples and the relevance of understanding different types of computers.
• Assign any homework or additional readings if necessary.

Assessment:

• Monitor group activities and class participation.
• Review individual or group worksheet responses.
• Evaluate the depth of understanding through class discussions.
