#### 2. Teacher's Presentation (10 minutes)
1. **Show and Tell**: Show the students a real printer. Point to the different parts (e.g., paper tray, ink cartridge, power button) and explain their functions in simple terms.
2. **Poster Explanation**: Use the poster to reinforce the parts and functions of the printer.
- Paper tray: Where the paper goes.
- Ink cartridge: Holds the ink.
- Power button: Turns the printer on and off.
3. **Demonstration**: Connect the printer to the computer and show how to print a simple document or image. Let the students see the paper coming out of the printer.
#### 3. Guided Practice (10 minutes)
1. **Hands-on Printing**: Let a few students come up in turns and press the print button while supervised.
2. **Discussion**: Ask questions to reinforce learning:
- What does a printer do?
- Where do we put the paper?
- What should we press to print something?
#### 4. Independent Activity (10 minutes)
1. **Color and Match Worksheet**: Hand out worksheets with pictures of printers and their parts. Ask students to color each part and match labels to the correct part of the printer.
- Paper tray
- Ink cartridge
- Power button
2. **Supervision and Assistance**: Walk around the classroom to assist any students who may need help with their worksheets.
#### 5. Conclusion and Recap (5 minutes)

### Assessment:
- **Observation**: Monitor student participation during the demonstration and Q&A session.
- **Worksheets**: Review the coloring and matching worksheets to check for understanding.
- **Homework (if assigned)**: Check the drawings for correct labeling of printer parts.
By the end of this lesson, students should have a basic understanding of a printer's function and parts, enhancing their familiarity with common ICT tools.
