   • Explain that system software manages hardware and provides a user interface, while application software helps users perform specific tasks.
   • Use relatable examples to illustrate these concepts.
3. Interactive Activity (5 minutes):
   • Ask students to brainstorm and write down examples of system software and application software on the whiteboard.
   • Facilitate a class discussion to compare and categorize their responses.

Activity (10 minutes):

1. Create Your Software:
   • Divide the class into small groups.
   • Provide each group with chart paper and markers.
   • Ask them to invent a fictional computer software application, including its name, purpose, and features.
   • Allow each group to present their creation to the class.

Conclusion (5 minutes):

1. Recap the key points covered during the lesson: types of computer software, their functions, and examples.
2. Emphasize the role of software in making computers functional and user-friendly.
3. Encourage students to explore different software applications at home and observe how they interact with computers on a daily basis.

Homework:

Ask students to find out the names of at least two software applications they use at home and write a short paragraph about how these applications help them in their daily lives.
