Date	Phase 1: Starter (7 mins) Preparing the brain	Phase 2: Main (16 mins) New learning + assessment	Resources	Phase 3: Plenary (5 mins) Reflection + exercise
Mon 25 May 2026	1Learners will identify the four main data threats and recall the four protection methods used against them 2Ask learners: What happens if someone logs into your mother's MoMo account without permission? Take three responses. Write on the board: Unauthorised Access, Data Breach, Malware, and Phishing—these are the four main threats	UNDERSTANDING THREATS AND THEIR PROTECTION METHODS 1Using the computer and projector, display a table with four rows: Threat (Unauthorised Access, Data Breach, Malware, Phishing) and Protection Method (blank). Read aloud: Unauthorised Access means someone logs in without permission—we stop this with Authorisation (checking who has access). Data Breach means private information is stolen—we stop this with Authentication (proving who you are with a password or biometric). Write these two matches on the board and ask learners to copy into their exercise books 2Continue with the projector showing the third and fourth threats: Malware is harmful software that damages your device—we protect against this with Encryption (scrambling data so only the right person can read it). Phishing is fake messages tricking you to give information—we protect with Decryption (unscrambling coded messages safely). Ask a volunteer to come to the board and tick which protection method stops each threat. Learners check their own matches against the board 3Struggling learners: provide a printed half-completed table with two matches already filled; they complete the remaining two. Fast finishers: write one sentence explaining why Encryption and Decryption work together.	1Computer/Laptop 2Projector 3Textbook 4Internet connection	1Ask learners to stand up. Call out one threat (e.g. Unauthorised Access). Learners shout the matching protection method (Authorisation). Repeat for all four threats. Learners sit when all four are correct 2Learners pair up and take turns: Partner A names a protection method; Partner B explains which threat it stops and how (one sentence). Switch roles Exercise 1Write the four threats on the board: Unauthorised Access, Data Breach, Malware, Phishing. Learners draw a table in their exercise books with two columns (Threat \| Protection Method). Complete the table by matching each threat to its correct protection method. (Correct answer: Unauthorised Access–Authorisation; Data Breach–Authentication; Malware–Encryption; Phishing–Decryption.)
