📘 Preview: Week 8 (Random Sample)

Week	Lesson	Strand	Sub-strand	Lesson Learning Outcomes	Learning Experiences	Key Inquiry Question(s)	Learning Resources	Assessment	Reflection
8	1	Computer Networking	2.1 Data Communication	By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to: a) define key terms: data, signals, protocols; b) explain the role of TCP/IP in internet communication; c) appreciate standardisation in networking.	The learners will be guided to: i) use jigsaw reading to define terms; ii) create flashcards for protocols; iii) discuss what if no common rules. Core Competency: Self-efficacy PCI: Social Awareness Skills	Why do computers need agreed rules to communicate?	Text excerpts, flashcards	Flashcard quiz	—
8	2	Computer Networking	2.1 Data Communication	By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to: a) describe the OSI model layers; b) match functions to each layer; c) acknowledge abstraction in network design.	The learners will be guided to: i) build an OSI layer cake (physical or digital); ii) label each layer with its function; iii) present to class. Core Competency: Creativity and Imagination PCI: Social Awareness Skills	How does the OSI model simplify network troubleshooting?	Craft materials or digital tool	Model rubric	—
8	3	Computer Networking	2.1 Data Communication	By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to: a) explain data rate, bandwidth, and latency; b) illustrate transmission modes: simplex, half-duplex, full-duplex; c) respect technical precision in communication.	The learners will be guided to: i) use walkie-talkies (half-duplex) and phone calls (full-duplex); ii) draw diagrams of each mode; iii) discuss real-world examples. Core Competency: Communication and Collaboration PCI: Social Awareness Skills	How is talking on a phone different from using a walkie-talkie?	Walkie-talkies (or simulation), drawing tools	Diagram and explanation	—

8	5	Computer Networking	2.1 Data Communication	By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to: a) simulate a data communication system; b) act out sender, medium, receiver roles; c) acknowledge the significance of reliable communication.	The learners will be guided to: i) form a human network passing encoded messages; ii) introduce "noise" and practice error correction; iii) reflect on real-world implications. Core Competency: Citizenship PCI: Social Awareness Skills	What happens when data gets corrupted in transit?	Role cards, message slips	Simulation observation	—
