Lesson Outline:

Introduction (10 minutes)
- Begin with a discussion: "How do you connect devices like keyboards, mice, or external displays to your computer?"
- Introduce the concept of hardware interfaces and their role in connecting external devices to computers.
- Outline the lesson objectives.
Presentation on USB Ports (20 minutes)
- Use the projector to present information on USB ports:
  - Definition and function: Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports are standard interfaces for connecting peripherals to computers.
  - Types of USB ports: USB-A, USB-B, USB-C.
  - Characteristics and capabilities of each type.
  - Common devices connected via USB: keyboards, mice, printers, external storage devices, etc.
- Provide examples of USB connections and demonstrate how to identify different types of USB ports.
Presentation on HDMI (20 minutes)
- Present information on HDMI connections:
  - Definition and function: High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is a standard interface for transmitting high-quality audio and video signals.
  - Characteristics of HDMI cables and connectors.
  - Benefits of HDMI: high-definition video and audio transmission, support for multiple formats (e.g., HDMI 1.4, HDMI 2.0).
  - Common devices connected via HDMI: monitors, TVs, projectors, gaming consoles, etc.
- Show examples of HDMI connections and discuss the importance of HDMI in modern multimedia setups.
Interactive Activity: Comparing USB and HDMI (10 minutes)
- Lead a discussion comparing the characteristics and uses of USB ports and HDMI connections.
- Highlight differences in functionality, data transfer capabilities, and typical applications.
- Encourage students to ask questions and share their insights.
Conclusion and Reflection (5 minutes)
- Summarize the key points covered in the lesson.
- Ask students to write a short paragraph in their notebooks about one application of USB ports or HDMI they found interesting and one new thing they learned about these interfaces today.
- Collect the notebooks to review students' understanding and reflections.

Assessment:

Participation in discussions and activities
Accuracy of responses during the interactive activity
Quality of reflection paragraphs in notebooks

Homework:

Assign students to research a specific device or peripheral that uses USB ports or HDMI connections and prepare a brief report or presentation on its functionality and use cases.
Encourage students to explore emerging technologies related to USB (e.g., USB 4.0) and HDMI (e.g., HDMI 2.1) and their potential impact on future computer systems and multimedia devices.
