Weekly Lesson Plan – Introduction To Networking
Lesson: Network Protocols
Daily Objectives:
Monday:
 I will describe the purposes of a network protocol, the layers of the TCP IP
architecture, and the protocols for each TCP/IP layer
Tuesday:
 I will describe the purposes of a network protocol, the layers of the TCP IP
architecture, and the protocols for each TCP/IP layer
Wednesday:
 I will configure IP addresses and subnet networks using packet tracer
software.
Thursday:
 I will configure IP addresses and subnet networks using packet tracer
software.
Friday:
 I will configure IP addresses and subnet networks using packet tracer
software.
Assessment:
Assessments will be completed by the students for end of class and end of chapter
review activities. The review activities include various hands-on assignments
located throughout the chapter, review questions, key terms, and labs. Students will
all do Case Assignments
Activities and Assignments:
Each section starts with a lecture to introduce the material and this may consist of a
real life example designed to stimulate conversation. Next is a PowerPoint
presentation, followed by another short lecture. The student will do Hands-On
Projects 5-1 through 5-5, using the classroom computer’s VMWare. At the end of the
chapter students will write down Key-Terms, complete Challenge Labs 5-1 through
5-3 and then Case Projects 5-1 through 5-3. After this is completed, students will
then take a chapter test.
Students will use the packet-tracer software to build a network that consist of 2
routers, 2 switches, 4 computers, 2 servers. Divide the network into two separate
networks and assign the appropriate IP numbers.
Differentiation Strategies:
Some of the differentiation strategies used in this lesson are using formation
assessments, continually assessing students through open questions, using video
and other multimedia sources such as videos, animation and illustrations, grouping
(teams) students together to come up with answers, giving mini lessons, giving
research papers assignments and having class discussions.
