Rationale: The term began with the classification of computers and the parts of a computer system: hardware, software and peopleware. Understanding review of the Term, revision Method, common Weak Areas helps learners use digital technology confidently, safely and responsibly.

Pre-requisite Knowledge: In Week 10, learners studied Spreadsheets and Presentations, including introduction to Spreadsheets, working with a Spreadsheet, introduction to Presentations. The knowledge from that week is used again in this lesson.

Learning Material/Teaching Aid: Whiteboard, markers, computer or laptop where available, printed notes and charts on Revision, practical task sheets, learners' notebooks and pens.

Reference Materials: Digital Technology for Junior Secondary Schools (JSS 2); NERDC Digital Technology Curriculum; Digital Technology JSS 2 First Term Notes (Week 11); First Term examination and Continuous Assessment question papers.

LESSON DEVELOPMENT

Stage/Step (Time)	Teacher's Activities	Student's Activities	Learning Points
Introduction 5 MINUTES	Welcomes learners, revises Week 10 (Spreadsheets and Presentations) with two quick oral questions, and asks what they already know about Revision. Elicits responses and writes the topic on the board.	Recall the previous lesson and share what they already know about Revision.	Connecting prior knowledge to Revision.
Step 1 8 MINUTES	Covers Review of the Term: The term began with the classification of computers and the parts of a computer system: hardware, software and peopleware. It then studied the operating system and file management, and moved on to computer networks and the devices that connect them.	Listen, take notes and answer oral questions on "Review of the Term".	Understanding: Review of the Term.
Step 2 8 MINUTES	Covers Revision Method: Revise by topic, not by page. Start with the list of topics and check that you can explain each one. Define a network in one sentence.	Copy the key points, give examples from school and everyday life, and ask questions on "Revision Method".	Understanding: Revision Method.
Step 3 8 MINUTES	Covers Common Weak Areas: Learners often confuse a hub with a switch and a router. The test is simple: a hub sends data to everyone, a switch sends data to the intended computer, and a router connects different networks.	Discuss in pairs, then report one point on "Common Weak Areas" to the class.	Understanding: Common Weak Areas.
Practical Work 6 MINUTES	Guides learners through the practical work: (i) Create a folder, save a file with a clear name and restore a file from the Recycle Bin. (ii) Make a spreadsheet with a SUM and an AVERAGE function and insert one chart. (iii) Create a three slide presentation and present it to the class. Moves round the class to check progress and correct unsafe or careless use.	Carry out the practical tasks individually or in pairs and record what they did in their notebooks.	Applying the lesson through hands-on practice.
Evaluation 3 MINUTES	Asks learners to: i. Revise all topics of the term. ii. Answer objective and short answer questions accurately. iii. Identify the topics that need more practice. iv. Prepare a plan for the examination week.	Respond verbally and in writing to the evaluation questions.	Assessment and consolidation of the lesson content.
Conclusion 2 MINUTES	Recaps the main points: review of the Term, revision Method, common Weak Areas. Links them to the assignment and previews Week 12: Examination.	Listen, ask questions and copy the assignment.	Reinforcement of key concepts and a preview of the next lesson.

Assignment: i. (a) Define a Computer. (b) Mention and explain the three (3) classifications of computers based on their operating principles (type). (c) List four (4) classifications of computers based on size and capacity. ii. (a) State four (4) important rules and regulations to be observed in the computer laboratory.
