Microteaching Lesson Plan
Name-Prabhakaran M
Title of your lesson: Basic Structure of C program, writing and compiling your first program.
Aims:
1. Identify different sections (Documentation, Link, Definition, Main,
Subprograms).
2. Write and compile their first basic C program successfully.
Learning Outcomes: By the end of this lesson, you should be able to the following
outcomes.
1. Explain the basic structure of a C program and its components.
2. Differentiate between Documentation, Link, Definition, Main, and Subprogram
sections.
3. Write a simple C program using correct syntax.
4. Compile and execute a C program, interpreting the output.
