Subject: computer science

Unit: 4

Topic: How to create a new file

Name of school: XYZ

No of student: 20

Class: 6

Time: 10 minutes

Specific Objective:

To teach students how to create a new file on a computer.

Materials Needed:

• Whiteboard and markers
• Computer or laptop with a projector (optional)

Introduction:

• Begin by asking students if they've ever created a document or file on a computer. Engage in a brief discussion to gauge their familiarity with creating files.
• Explain that today they'll learn how to create new files on a computer, which is a fundamental skill for using technology.

Main Body (6 minutes):

1. Explaining File Creation (2 minutes)
   • Define a file as a collection of information that is stored and accessed by a computer program. Mention examples like documents, presentations, or images.
   • Explain that creating a new file means starting a fresh document or project.
2. Creating a New File (4 minutes)
   • Demonstrate step-by-step how to create a new file using a simple software application (like a word processor or drawing tool).
   • Walk them through the process of opening the software, choosing "File" or "Create New," selecting the file type (document, drawing, etc.), and giving the file a name.
   • Emphasize the importance of naming files descriptively for easy identification.

Conclusion (2 minutes):

• Summarize the key steps for creating a new file: opening the software, selecting "File" or "Create New," choosing the file type, and naming the file.
• Encourage students to practice creating a new file at home or during computer class to reinforce their learning.

Activity (Optional Extension):

• If time permits, ask students to share what kind of files they'd like to create and have them imagine the content they would put in those files.

Assessment:

• Evaluate understanding by asking questions like, "Can anyone tell me the steps to create a new file?" or "Why is it important to give a file a descriptive name?"
