PERIOD 2 and 3: Special keys. Long jump

PRESENTATION	TEACHER’S ACTIVITY	PUPIL’S ACTIVITY
STEP 1 INTRODUCTION	The teacher revisits the previous lesson on functions of the Memory Unit	Pupils pay attention
STEP 2 EXPLANATION	The teacher then explains functions of some special keys 1. Control key-The Control key serves as a shortcut for various commands. It is used in combination with other keys on the keyboard 2. Enter key- It is used send the cursor to the next line or executes an action 3. Spacebar key- It's always the largest and longest key on the keyboard. it creates an empty space known as a space character or whitespace that helps separate words and other characters in a sentence 4. Function keys- The function keys or F keys are lined across the top of the keyboard and labeled F1 through F12. These keys act as shortcuts, performing certain functions, like saving files, printing data, or refreshing a page. 5. Tab key- The tab key Tab â¹ (abbreviation of tabulator key or tabular key) on a keyboard is used to advance the cursor to the next tab stop.	Pupils pay attention and participates
STEP 3 DEMONSTRATION	The teacher explains what long jump means Long jump is a field event where athletes compete by comparing lengths of their jumps where athletes try to jump as far as they can The teacher further explains the phases in long jump 1. The approach or run-up 2. The take-off 3. The flight 4. The landing 5. The recovery	Pupils pay attention and participate
STEP 4 NOTE TAKING	The teacher writes a short note on the board	The pupils copy the note in their books
