PRESENTATION

TEACHER’S ACTIVITY

PUPIL’S ACTIVITY

STEP 1

INTRODUCTION

The teacher revisits the previous lesson and introduces the new topic by explaining what technology is-

Technology is the use of science in solving problems and creating problem solving tools and instruments.

 

Underdeveloped technology is the use of crude tools and methods to do things

Pupils pay attention

STEP 2

EXPLANATION

The teacher further explains the various examples of underdeveloped technology

1. farming with hoes and cutlasses

2. using town crier for communication

3. use of animals like camels, donkeys, etc for transportation

4. Stone grinders and mortar an pestles for crushing pepper, onions, tomatoes etc

 

Pupils pay attention and participates

STEP 3

DEMONSTRATION

Using live examples, the teacher describes the characteristics of underdeveloped technology

1. It wastes time

2. it is cheaper

3. it consumes more energy

4. it is low quality technology

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

 

NOTE

CLASSWORK: As in evaluation

CONCLUSION: The teacher commends the pupils positively

 

PERIOD 2 and 3: Sprint races. System application

PRESENTATION

TEACHER’S ACTIVITY

PUPIL’S ACTIVITY

STEP 1

INTRODUCTION

The teacher revisits the previous lesson and introduces the new topic by explaining what Sprint races are-

 

Sprint races are short running races

Pupils pay attention

STEP 2

EXPLANATION

The teacher using the chart, gives examples of sprint races- 100m, 200m, 400m.

She also explains the skills and techniques involved in sprint races

1. Take off. The stride is very fast in sprints.

2.  The Running. This is the actual running of the race.

3.  The Arm action. The hands are open and swing across the chest.

4.  The Finish.

 

Pupils pay attention and participates

STEP 3

DEMONSTRATION

She explains and demonstrates the systems application

System applications are used to perform particular tasks. It can also be called the application software.

 

She further demonstrates the uses of system applications

1. creating, editing and formatting documents

2.  editing audio, videos, pictures

3. learning how to type

4. play audios and watch videos

5. surf the internet

6. for learning and teaching

 

Some examples of system applications include ZOOM, Mavis beacon, Corel draw, Microsoft Office(Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Paint) etc

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
