1. PREPARATION
a. Preliminaries
i. Opening Prayer
Everybody, please stand for a prayer to be led to Our father in heaven holy be thy name your
us by Rolene. kingdom come thy will be done in earth as it is
in heaven give us this day our daily bread and
forgive us our sins as we forgive those who
trespass against us. Do not bring us to the test
but deliver us from evil. Amen.
ii. Customary Greetings
Good afternoon class! Good afternoon Sir!

Before taking your seats, pick up the scattered (Students arrange their chairs and pick up
papers under your chairs and be sure that your some scattered papers.)
chairs are properly aligned.
You may now take your seats. Thank you Sir!

iii. Attendance Monitoring

Class, please pass your assignment to the center Yes Sir. (Students will pass their assignments)
aisle for it will serve as your attendance for today.
Please don’t make any noise while passing your
paper.

 b. Review
Let us first recall our previous lesson, last meeting
we discussed about the tools for installing LAN
Cable.
I’ve got here some pictures of the tool. Kindly
identify its name and function.
Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) Cable - most
common cable used in computer networking.

RJ45 Connector - registered jack 45 is an eight-

wire connector used to connect computers to
category 5 unshielded twisted pair cables in a
network.

LAN Tester - assists in the installation and

control of networks.

Crimping Tool – used to crimp UTP Cable to

RJ45 Connector.

Wire Stripper – Used to remove the outer jacket

of the wire.

Do you have any questions with regard to our None sir!

discussion last meeting?

It’s nice to hear that you have learned something

from our previous topic.

c. Motivation

Before we proceed into our next lesson. Let’s

have some fun first. We’ll have the Color Quiz. All
you have to do class is to identify the color, not
the word, by saying “It’s (the color), not (the
name.)”
For example: It’s Green, not Yellow.
Are you ready?

It’s Red, not Blue.

It’s Blue, not Orange.
It’s Yellow, not Black.

Wow! You guys are amazing.

I’ve a UTP Cable here. And let’s look what’s inside

of it.
Could you tell the colors of these tiny wires?
Orange & White
Orange
Green & White
Blue
Blue & White
Green
Brown & White
Brown

You guys really have sharp eyes.

Did you know class, according to Glassdoor.com,
an IT expert has an average annual salary of
$68,473 and that’s equivalent to P3,461,692.91. Wow!
So, in this classroom we will learn how to create
LAN cabling.
So, are you ready? Yes, Sir!

Thank you!

Unlocking of difficulties

Everybody read, please!

LAN Cabling is a process of creating LAN
Cable which is used in interconnecting
computers.

Straight-through cable is used to connect

computers, printers and other network client
devices to the router switch or hub.

Thanks!

Before we have our activity, let’s have a video (The student will watch the video.)
about the procedure in creating a straight
through cable.
