Title: Introduction to Programming Languages

Objective: 
By the end of this 10-minute lesson, students should be able to:
1. Define what a programming language is.
2. Understand the importance of programming languages in software development.
3. Identify different types of programming languages.

Materials:
- Whiteboard and markers
- Slides or visual aids (optional)
- Handouts (optional)

Introduction (2 minutes):
1. Begin the lesson by asking students if they have ever heard of the term "programming language" and what they think it might mean.
2. Define a programming language as a set of instructions that computers understand and execute to perform specific tasks.
3. Briefly mention the importance of programming languages in creating software applications, websites, and other technological solutions.

Body (5 minutes):
4. Explain the types of programming languages:
   a. High-level languages: Examples include Python, Java, C++, and JavaScript. These languages are more human-readable and abstracted from the machine code.
   b. Low-level languages: Examples include Assembly and machine code. These languages are closer to the computer's hardware and are less human-readable.
   c. Scripting languages: Examples include Python, JavaScript, and Ruby. These languages are often used for automating tasks and are interpreted rather than compiled.
   d. Domain-specific languages: Specialized languages designed for specific tasks or industries, such as SQL for database querying or HTML for web development.

5. Provide a brief overview of a popular programming language, such as Python, highlighting its versatility and ease of learning.

Conclusion (2 minutes):
6. Summarize the key points covered in the lesson, emphasizing the role of programming languages in creating software and technology.
7. Encourage students to explore different programming languages based on their interests and career goals.
8. Open the floor for any questions and address them briefly.

Assessment:
To assess understanding, consider asking a couple of simple questions or providing a short quiz on the key concepts covered in the lesson. This could include identifying examples of programming languages or explaining the difference between high-level and low-level languages.
