| Indicator: B7.1.1.1.1 Discuss the fourth-generation computers | Content Standard: B7.1.1.1. Examine the parts of a computer |
| Performance Indicator: Learners can discuss features of fourth generation computers | T.L.R.(s): Desktop computer, Computer processor, Printed photographs of computer generations |
Phase 1: Starterpreparing the brain for learning Use questions and answers, find out what learners already know about the fourth generation computers.
Share with learners the performance indicators. | Phase 2: Mainnew learning including assessment Concrete-resource task: Set out these resources for each group: Desktop computer; Computer processor; Printed photographs of computer generations. Learners inspect the hardware and printed examples, then operate or compare them during the computing task below.
Let learners discuss features of fourth generation computers
The computers of fourth generation used very large scale integrated (VLSI) circuits. This made computers more powerful, compact, reliable and affordable. As a result, it gave rise to personal computers (PC) revolution. E.g. desktop computers, laptop, notebook, etc.
Guide learners to Identify a microchip
Engage learners to explore the architecture of a processor.
Assessment 1. State any two features of fourth generation computers 2. What is the main function of the microchip in computers 3. Processors are also known as ________. | Phase 3plenary / reflections Use peer discussion and effective questioning to find out from learners what they have learnt during the lesson.
Take feedback from learners and summarize the lesson. |
