Computer—A Machine Story Time

Story in a Nutshell…

It is the first day in Avora school! Conji, a smart young wizard, meets Mel. She is a robot who knows a lot about computers. Conji is fascinated by the watch that Mel is wearing, and it turns out to be a smartwatch (a mini-computer). Mel tells him about the different types of computers while Conji educates Mel on the various rules of the wizards. He tells her about magical items like wands, spell books and drinks. Mel notices that they are a lot like various computer parts. Conji teaches a few spells to Mel. However, when Mel tries to cast a spell, it doesn’t work. Conji tells Mel about being careful while casting spells as there are a few rules that one should follow when dealing with magic. Mel learns the right way and shares that computers have certain rules too. They begin cleaning the computer devices when Conji breaks a mouse by mistake. Scared, they ask the Elder Robot’s help to fix the mouse. He teaches them to be careful while working with computers. Grateful for his help, Mel and Conji decide to make him a ‘Thank you Card’.

Explanation

Describe what coding is.

Tell the students that a computer does not understand human languages.

That is why we need to learn coding so that we can tell computers what to do, as given on page 1.

Check for Understanding Ask the following probing questions: ●

Computers are smart, but they need instructions. Can you talk to a computer in any language?

Do you think it will listen to you?

Possible Responses: Yes/No Explaination: No. The computer does not understand all the languages. It will only understand our instructions if we use a language that the computer understands.

●

How would learning coding help us?

Possible Response: Learning coding will help us to understand problems, think of solutions, make a computer do a task, and solve a question in many ways.

7 mins

Conduct a group discussion in the class among the students on the topic, ”How can you solve any puzzle?”.

Possible Responses: Sort by colour, trial and error method, looking at the solved picture, etc.

●

Conclude the session by summarising that a computer is a machine. It does not understand human language. So, we use coding to tell the computer what to do.

Assign the following questions from the Chapter Checkup given at the end of the chapter as homework.

A. Fill in the Blanks: Question 3 D. Write T for True and F for False: Questions 1 and 2 E. Answer the Following: Question 2

How will you make the shape of “number 1” with blocks?

Possible Response: I will join 1 block above the other until the desired shape is created.

7 mins

Draw one triangle and two rectangles of different shapes on the board. ●

1.

Present the scenario: Consider these shapes as blocks. Now, build a house in your notebooks using these shapes.

Allow some time for kids to do this activity.

2. Once most of the students have drawn the house, summarise the following: ●

Blocks in block-based coding are like the shapes given to you.

● Just as you have simply arranged the shapes to build a house, we have to arrange the blocks to

make computers do a task. That is what block-based coding is.

●

Block-based coding is fun and easy to learn.

Sum Up ● ●
