Begin the class by revising what students already know about writing using a computer. Create a short cut for text editor application on the desktop. Open text editor and ask the students to note the similar options as in other activities --- new, open and save. Emphasize that the functions of these options remain same across diﬀerent activities. Revise the function of space bar and enter key to refresh their memory. Remind the students that it is important to save whatever changes you make in the document by using the save icon.

Type a list of words from a topic in another subject. For instance you can write a list of the foods we eat --- fruits, dals, pulses and animal products. Now select a word at the top of the list and cut it (using the scissors on the menu bar). As the students note what you do on the computer, they will wonder where it has gone. Now paste it at the end of the list. Explain to the students that the computer stores the cut item. When we specify the place to bring the word, it recollects the word and pastes it there. You can teach the copy option, in a similar way.

Draw the students’ attention to how the symbols of cut, copy and paste represent their functions. For example, scissors are used to cut and you paste something on a pad, and there are two sheets one behind the other in copy. This will help them to understand and remember the functions of these options clearly.

Summarize the lesson and allow the students to practice. Ask the students to refer the chapter they are learning in science/ environmental studies and write 10 important words as a list. Tell them to put the words in alphabetical order using the edit --- cut, copy and paste option. Finally, ask them to save the list.
