3. User Interface and Basic Operations:
   • Discuss the concept of a user interface (UI) and its role in interacting with the operating system.
   • Demonstrate basic operations such as file management, opening applications, and customization options.

Group Activity (10 minutes):

• Divide the class into small groups.
• Provide each group with a worksheet or set of questions related to the functions and types of operating systems.
• Instruct them to discuss and come up with answers collaboratively.

Class Discussion (10 minutes):

• Have each group share their findings with the class.
• Encourage questions and facilitate a discussion to reinforce key concepts.
• Clarify any misconceptions and emphasize the practical importance of operating systems in daily computer use.

Hands-On Demonstration (5 minutes):

• Perform a live demonstration on a computer to showcase basic operations in an operating system.
• Navigate through the file system, open applications, and demonstrate how the operating system manages tasks.

Conclusion (5 minutes):

• Summarize the key points covered in the lesson.
• Discuss the relevance of operating systems in various devices and their impact on user experience.
• Assign homework or reading materials related to the chapter for further reinforcement.

Assessment:

• Evaluate the group activity and class discussion for understanding.
• Assign a short quiz or homework to assess individual comprehension of the key concepts.
