contri&utions from the students in the class#

The teacher )ill then conduct some oral uestioning# .ome of the uestions may include:

>hat is an output deviceB

Differentiate &et)een softcopy and hard copy#

Give t)o e4amples of softcopy devices and t)o e4amples of hardcopy devices#

Give an e4ample of ho) a dot matri4 printer can &e useful today#

>hich output device )ould you used to print a car design or house planB

>hich output device is used to sho) students a 0o)er0oint presentationB

.tudents )ill then &e informed of the activities and evaluation that they )ill &e engaged in )hich

includes an interactive cross)ord pule and an online game# .tudents )ill &e as*ed to revie)
