Description
of Activity/Activities The
lesson methodology: a)
warm-up activities for "computer users" - teacher asks about parts
of the computer (Show me...; What is...) and about "computer words" b) repetition
of previous lesson - student opens their computer and show how to open/close
files, work with a mouse c)
introduction of the lesson objective - font, its types, changing and
formating. The teacher explains everything step by step while the student
follows his instructions. d)
practice - after the introduction and explanation, student starts to write
his own text from the textbook (or the teacher prepares it for them). Student
uses the keybord draft to orientate with the keyboard. After prepairing the
text, the student learn how to formate the paragraphs, how to use and change
font types e)
game - student play with the text and try what is possible while choosing and
changing font. If there are more students, it is possible to prepair "a
short exhibition" of printed texts created by students. Tey will see
what is possible to do with the font and how it looks like. f)
evaluation and homework - student has to prepare and formate text at home
following the instructions from the teacher. |
Verification
(steps to check for student understanding): There is the
evaluation at the end of the lesson and homework. Following lesson is devoted
to the same practice with little knowledge extension. |
