Time
Approximately 25 minutes
Activity Plan
- Divide your class into teams of four.
- Ask each team to list ten activities for each sphere of life (work, leisure, and daily life) that involve the use of a keyboard.
- Teams take turns to share with the class one activity from each sphere of life. Write these on the board. Keep going until you have three sets of ten activities.
- Ask your students some questions. What conclusions can they make from looking at the lists on the board? Do they use a keyboard in every area of their lives? Do people nowadays need to know how to use a keyboard? Encourage them to reflect on the importance of mastering a good typing technique in order to be efficient in all areas of their professional and personal lives.
