This lesson will teach students key vocabulary needed to understand computing systems. The lesson starts by showing a video to introduce key vocabulary terms. Then, teacher and students will have a class discussion to review components of a computer, hardware/software and input/output, and how to resolve problems when using a device. Teacher will facilitate a Kahoot, and students will answer each question individually to review material learned throughout the lesson. To wrap up the lesson, students will be asked to complete an exit slip by matching pictures to the correct terms (hardware, software, input, output).

This lesson teaches students how to use the correct terminology when encountering a computer problem.

In this lesson students will think about the many uses of technology in their own daily lives. We will also discuss how technology has changed through the years. Next, we will discuss technology's purpose and how the goal of technology is to make our lives easier. A google slides presentation has been included to help explain these concepts. Activity: Students will get a chance to compare and contrast a task both using technology and doing the same task without technology. Students will compare the differences for sending a message using technology and sending that same message with pencil and paper.

In Sounding Out activities, students take a regular word, such as sat, produce the letter-sound pattern "sssaaat," and blend to produce the word sat. This is a crucial development in learning to read, bringing together skills that students have spent many weeks working on and providing the first excitement of reading unaided. Being able to sound out regular words also provides students with a self-teaching capability: they can decode unaided words they do not yet recognize on sight.
