types of networks
listed on the Lab
Assignment. Have
them create a
legend for the
different parts of the
network they are
trying to draw – like
a box with the word
Router for a router.
Work through the SOHO portion of the lab
together – the key listed is one of many
solutions.

MI
Independent Practice (LSI Quadrant III):
Hand out the Lab Assignment. Divide students into groups of two or three. Have each
group work together on the following…
SAY, “Students, now that you see how we have set up a SOHO, see if you
and a partner can come up with one possible solution to the rest of the
problems on the Lab Assignment.”

SAY, “Now that we have a good understanding about Networks, we need to study for
our quiz. In your groups, each of you needs to create your own set of flash cards to
study. Work together as a group to make sure that you do not miss any important
concepts or terms. I will need to review these to make sure that I feel you are not
missing anything. I would also draw out our SOHO example so that you do not forget
it later.”
