Session Conduction

Engage: Pick up any example of algorithm discussed earlier and ask students to represent it through a
diagram of their own. Let them use their creativity. Analyse their drawings and then ask them if they show this
diagram to someone, will the person be able to tell what the algorithm is doing? They will agree – yes. Tell
them it is always easier to understand things in graphical forms like diagrams in science, charts in
spreadsheets and various signs we see in the public places.

Concept introduction: Show them a flowchart made on the same example you asked the students to create
the diagram. Let them interpret the flowchart. Interact with them to explain the flow of the flowchart.

Show them the components of the flowchart and explain their meaning. Then, explain the advantages and
limitations of the flowcharts.
Concept Demo/Explanation: Through the examples in the book, demonstrate how algorithms are converted
into flowcharts.

Concept Practice: Ask the students to complete the 3 Brain Jogger activities alternatively after each example.

Concept Demo/Explanation: Ask the students if they are asked to calculate the average age of 100 persons,
how will they do that. Then, ask them, which step in the process is repeated multiple times. Tell them, if a
computer has to do this then it will use a concept called loop to accept the 100 ages and add them up.

Then, explain loops with the help of two examples in the book. Next, explain them the significance of
variables.

Lesson Plan for Computer Languages & Programming Techniques


S.M.A.R.T. Learning Objectives
By the end of this session, students will be able to:
1. Identify 4 categories of computer languages.
2. List different types of translator programs.

Resources

 video https://youtu.be/efLjW0vfz-E (00:01 to 9:55)

Session Conduction

Engage: Ask students if they can give instructions on how to make juice in Spanish or French. Let them have
a discussion on their mother tongues. Emphasize the need for languages for expressing human views. Explain
if someone doesn’t understand a particular language how we can take the help of the interpreter.

Next, ask students what do they think what languages computers understand. Encourage them to answer. After
they answer, tell computers will not understand the languages we speak (Hindi/English). The computer will
only understand machine language which is a combination of 0’s and 1’s. Again, ask students if anyone gives
instruction to them as 00000011 will they understand this. Tell them that computer scientists in the 1940s used
to give instruction in 0’s and 1’s.

Concept introduction: Humans use computer languages to communicate with computers. Computer
language/Programming language is used for expressing a set of instructions in a program. Tell them how
programming languages have evolved. Relate it with the evolution of humans.
To convert high-level languages to the machine we need a translator program. Emphasize on just like we
follow grammar when we write something, we need to follow some rules when we write a program. Whether
we have followed these rules are checked by the compiler and interpreter.

Concept Demo/Explanation: Write a small code in python and run it to show how the program is written in
a human-readable language and to convert it to machine language we have to run it.

Concept Practice: Ask the students to search for some more information on computer languages on the
internet.

sound effects and an encouraging cartoon mascot who guides how to use Tux Paint, more fun? What do they
know about animation?

Show a short-animated slide show with some transition effects to capture students’ interest.

Concept introduction: Explain how animation can help make a PowerPoint presentation more dynamic, and
help make information more memorable. Simple animation effects for entry and exit of an object, some sound
effects can make presentation aesthetic. Do inform students that we also must consider the scenario where we
will be presenting our slide show before adding such effects.

There are five types of animation effects in MS Office 2019 – entrance, emphasis, exit, motion paths., and 3D
animation. These reflect the point at which we want the animation to occur. Explain what these effects do to
an applied object. 3D animation effects are present in MS Office 2019 version.

Concept Demo/Explanation: Show students how to animate an object. Add multiple animations to an object,
reordering and deleting animations from the object using the steps given in the book. Add the motion path to a
round-looking object to give an effect of a ball jumping around.
Concept Practice: Ask students to create a presentation with two objects in a slide. One object should have
an animation of the entrance type and the other should have an emphasis type. Save the file. Let them explore
the timing option to start the animation in different ways. Next, ask them to insert a new slide add a 5-point

Session Conduction

Engage: Recap the previous topic. Ask students can they vote or get a driving license. If not, why. What is
the right age for voting? Use this example to explain the decision-making used in programming languages.
Ask students they may have come across situations when they have to make decisions like if raw material for
noodles is available, I will make noodles else I will order.

Concept introduction: In programming, a very important part is checking conditions. Taking the age
example explain condition checking. If the condition age>18 is true you can vote else not. In Scratch, this is
done with the if () block. If the condition is true then if () block is executed Else block which contains another
piece of code runs if the condition is false. To check conditions comparison operators are used.

Introduce iteration that allows the repetition of commands or a set of lines. Like playing our favorite song
again and again on a loop in a media player,

Concept Demo/Explanation: Use examples to display the WELCOME message if the passcode is harry123.
Use the cat, banana, and apple code from the book to explain further. Using operator block show how to
calculate arithmetic operation and comparison. Show how to place sprite randomly in any position using

Resources
1. video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YV0-g4c34kk (5.10)
2. Use the eContent to show the animated demos of the lesson.

Session Conduction

Engage: Ask students if they have to send invitation cards to 100 people for a meeting and what will they do.
We cannot make copies because every invitee will have a different name and address. And writing names and
addresses on all the 100 invitation cards will be a tedious task. So how about we get to use a tool that will let
us create fixed preformatted content with information like venue, date, and time and automatically add the
name and address of the recipients from an excel file or database when we print or email it.

Concept introduction: Mail Merge is a powerful tool for writing a personalized letter, fax, or e-mail to many
people at the same time. Mail Merge consists of combining mail and letters and pre-addressed envelopes or
mailing labels for mass mailing. This feature is usually employed in a word processing document containing
fixed text (which is the same in each output document) and variables like names, addresses, contact no, etc
(which act as placeholders replaced by text from the data source). It imports data from another source such as
a spreadsheet or database and then uses that to replace placeholders throughout the message with the relevant
information for each individual that is being messaged.

Concept Demo/Explanation: When we use Mail Merge in MS Word it has 4 components- main document,
data source, merge field, and merged document. Explain what are main steps in mail merge 1) create the main
document which will have the common content for all the letters and 2) create a data source in MS Access or
MS Excel. Explain The main document contains the main body of the letter, field names, and merges
instructions. Next, explain what is a data source or Recipients’ list which stores the information that changes
for every document. This information is inserted into the main document one by one. An example of the data
source is a name, address, and phone or email-id list of invitees which we want to include in the main
document. This data source can be a file of type spreadsheet or database. The merged document contains the
main text from the main document and data from a data source.
Concept Practice: Open Mail Merge in MS Word from the Mailings tab. Use Step-By-Step Mail Merge
Wizard. Select document type, select starting document, select data source, insert a merge field, view merged
data, and select merge to the printer. Next, choose the print options. Refer to the steps mentioned in the
chapter. Show how to print envelopes with addresses for letters. Use the notes section for additional
information about various Mail Merge options. Ask students to complete the Do-It-Yourself activities.

MS-Excel : Working With Data


S.M.A.R.T. Learning Objectives
By the end of this session, students will be able to:
1. Understand what is cell address and cell reference.
2. Use three types of cells references
3. Sort numeric, text, date, and time data in ascending and descending orders.

Resources
3. video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qx4L11ijOuM&t=163s (0.00 to 6.25)
4. Use the eContent to show the animated demos of the lesson.

Session Conduction

Engage: Ask students how they are addressed by their friends and family members. Just like their name is
used for addressing them. We can call an Excel cell using cell reference. A cell reference or cell address is a
combination of a column letter and a row number that identifies a cell on a worksheet. Each cell can be
located or identified by its cell reference or address, e.g., B5.
Concept introduction: In Excel, a cell reference (example A1) is a combination of column name (i.e., A)
followed by a row number (i.e., 1). While writing formulas, the user can refer to cells/ range of cells using cell
reference. For example, suppose we have the following data in cell A1 = 10 and cell A2 = 5. Let’s say we
type the formula as =A1+A2. Then Excel will calculate the sum of values present in those cells which are
10+5 = 15. When a cell reference refers to more than one cell, it is called range. E.g., A1:A8 indicates the first
8 cells in column A.

Sorting is a feature in MS Excel that helps us to organize data. We can sort a text column in alphabetical order
(A-Z or Z-A). We can sort a numerical column from largest to smallest or smallest to largest. We can also sort
a date and time column from oldest to newest or newest to oldest

Concept Demo/Explanation: Discuss the three types of cell references.


Relative Cell References are the most widely used type of cell reference in formulas. Relative cell references
are basic cell references that adjust and change when copied or when using AutoFill. Situations arise in which
the cell reference must remain the same when copied or when using AutoFill. A dollar symbol, when added in
front of the row and column number, makes it absolute i.e., stops the row and column number from changing
when copied to other cells. Mixed references are of two types i) Absolute row and Relative column ii)
Absolute column and Relative row. Use the example of the book to show how references work. Use sheet
references to copy the cell references of one worksheet into another.
Explain what is sorting using real-life situations where sorting is used. For e.g., names are called
alphabetically or roll number-wise, the name appears alphabetically in a telephone directory. Ask students
where else they see data sorting based on alphabets or numbers.

Concept Practice: Create a worksheet with item names, the number of items sold, and unit price. To calculate
the total sales for each item, we need to multiply the price of each item by its quantity of that. Write the
formula for the first item then copy the formula to the rest of the cell using relative reference. Show how to
use absolute reference for finding the commission amount a salesperson will get by fixing the commission
percentage as 20% multiplied by the total sale they have done. Create a multiplication table from 1 to 5 like
the following using mixed references.

1 2 3 4 5
1 1 2 3 4 5
2 2 4 6 8 10
3 3 6 9 12 15
4 4 8 12 16 20
5 5 10 15 20 25

Use text and numeric columns of a worksheet and show how to sort data using the sort and filter option from
the Home tab of Excel 2016. Take a date column and show how sort and filter options changes newest to
oldest and vice versa.

Optional Activity: Students can watch the video from the resources section.
Practical Application: Complete the do-it-yourself and lab activities.

1. Edit or delete a formula used in a cell.
2. Get familiarized with function structure in Excel.
3. Use at least 10 built-in functions of Excel 2016

Resources
5. video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DksYxHyCQEc (4.55)
6. Use the eContent to show the animated demos of the lesson.

Session Conduction

Engage: Recap the previous session.


Concept introduction: A function in Excel is a pre-set formula, that helps perform mathematical, statistical,
and logical operations. When we want any function to use, all we have to do is enter an equal sign (=) in the
cell, followed by the name of the function and the cell range it applies to. Excel includes many common
functions that can be used to quickly find the sum, average, count, maximum value, and minimum value for a
range of cells.

Concept Demo/Explanation: Excel lets us edit our formulas and delete them if required. Edit a formula
written in the previous class by selecting it.
In order to work correctly, a function must be written a specific way, which is called syntax. The basic syntax
for a function is the equals sign (=), the function name (SUM, for example), and one or more arguments inside
(). Arguments contain the information we need to calculate. Give example =SUM (A1:A9). Explain what we
provided here as arguments to calculate the sum of the values in the cell range A1:A9. Explain some of the
built-in functions. Create a workbook and add columns like names, state, country, and pin code. Enter some
data. Join the columns using the Textjoin function. Use the switch function and find out if the day is a
weekend or not.
Discuss how we can carry out more than one comparison in our formula or test multiple conditions instead of
just one by using AND, OR, and Not logical functions. Show how to use AND function in excel by finding if
the value in the column is between 100 and 200.

Concept Practice: Show how to insert a simple function from the insert function option Formula tab. Find
out the total sum by adding the cell range as a reference in the function argument dialog box. Use the example
in the book to demonstrate how to add logical functions in Excel 2016. Use IFS and check if the student has
received more than 35 marks to declare him passed or failed. The steps for Excel 2016 and 2019 are the same.
Ask students to complete the do-it-yourself activities. Students can find additional insights from the Amazing
Fact and notes sections of the chapter.

MS-Excel : Presenting Data in Charts

S.M.A.R.T. Learning Objectives


By the end of this session, students will be able to:
1. Resize and move a chart to a new location.
2. Changing chart types.
3. Applying chart styles in Excel.
4. Format a chart to change its appearance.
5. Insert a picture in an Excel worksheet.
6. Use goal seek to do what-if analysis in Excel.

Resources
7. video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5HzBXsv08I (1.57 onwards)
8. Use the eContent to show the animated demos of the lesson.
Session Conduction

Engage: Recap the previous session.


Concept introduction: While Excel can automatically handle many of the mundane tasks associated with
turning raw data into a chart, we may still want to change some elements of our chart. We can use a variety of
formatting techniques to enhance the appearance of a chart once we have created it. Two sets of tools are
available for formatting chart elements: the Format task pane and the Chart Tools Ribbon. We can also insert a
picture into a Worksheet.
Goal seeking is finding the correct input when only the output is known. It is used for What-If analysis in
Excel.

Concept Demo/Explanation: Discuss how we can change the appearance of a chart from the format chart
area pane. Using the chart option apply a background colour to the chart, and add border and effects like
shadow or blur. Change the text colour using the text option.

The scale of an axis is the units into which the axis is divided. We may want to change the scale Excel uses
along an axis of a chart. The scale automatically chosen by Excel may not represent the possibilities we want
to be conveyed in our chart. Use the examples in the book to change the axis scale.

Goal Seek is a built-in Excel feature that let us see how one data item in a formula impacts another. We might
look at these as cause-and-effect scenarios. Create a worksheet with election result details like following
% Of
Party Votes Votes
A 6000 63%
B 3530 37%

Total 9530

Using Goal Seek, change the input value of one cell and see how the results changes. As we can see team A is
a majority but shy of the required 2/3 approval to win the election. So as an analyst we need to analyze how
close Team A was. What would’ve made a difference? How many more votes were needed by Team A to win?

Concept Practice: After showing different types of charts in Excel / move the charts to a new location.
Resize the charts by dragging the handles. Using the steps provided in the chapter change the chart types and
change the chart styles. Insert a picture in a worksheet. Ask students to check if we can copy and paste an
Image from other sources in Excel.
