Essential question
Can I do the tasks, not just remember the names?
Learning objectives
- Answer MCQs, subnetting, topology and cabling tasks
- Move through stations at pace
- Score your own work
Overview
In a station rotation, the classroom becomes four (or more) mini-workshops. You get 10–15 minutes at each, then rotate. Focus is on doing the skill, not reading about it.
The four stations
(1) MCQ station: 10 multiple-choice questions from Topics 1–4. (2) Subnetting station: two /26 problems. (3) Topology-selection station: three scenarios, pick a topology and justify. (4) Cable-identification station: 4 real cables to identify.
How to score yourself
After each station, mark your own work against the answer sheet. Circle any wrong answer. At the end, your circled items are tonight's revision homework.
