    1. Define a Firewall: Understand and articulate the purpose and function of a firewall in network security.

    2. Identify Data Types: Identify different types of data that need protection, aligning with K.DA.2.1.

    3. Recognize Firewall Interfaces: Recognize and describe the interfaces and features of the Sophos Firewall.

    4. Interpret Graphs: Analyze data displayed in picture graphs related to firewall functionality, aligning with
    K.DA.3.1.

    5. Apply Knowledge: Demonstrate how to configure basic settings on a Sophos Firewall in a simulated
    environment.

    Materials Needed
    Computer with internet access

    Projector or smart board

    Sophos Firewall simulation software or online demo

    Printed or digital picture graphs showcasing data protection

    Lesson Outline
    Introduction (10 minutes)
    Hook: Begin with a question: "What is the first line of defense for your computer network?" Engage students
    in a brief discussion about network security.

    Objective Overview: Explain the objectives of the lesson. Discuss the importance of firewalls in protecting
    data.

    Instructional Input (20 minutes)


    Lecture and Demonstration: Present a brief lecture on what a firewall is, specifically focusing on the
    Sophos Firewall. Use visuals and diagrams to illustrate key points.

    Data Examples: Provide examples of data that require protection, such as personal information, and relate
    these to students' everyday experiences (K.DA.2.1).

    Guided Practice (15 minutes)


    Hands-On Activity: Using the Sophos Firewall simulation software or online demo, guide students through
    identifying different interfaces and settings.

    Picture Graph Interpretation: Show data displayed in picture graphs (related to firewall logs or traffic) and
    discuss what the data represents (K.DA.3.1).

    Independent Practice (10 minutes)


    Activity: Allow students to explore the Sophos Firewall interface independently, encouraging them to try
    configuring basic settings within the simulation.

    Closure (5 minutes)
    Review: Summarize the key points of the lesson. Ask students to share what they found most interesting or
    surprising about firewalls.

    Exit Ticket: Have students write down one new thing they learned about data protection and firewalls.

    Assessment
    Formative Assessment: Monitor student participation during discussions and hands-on activities.

    Exit Ticket: Evaluate students' understanding based on their responses.

    Extensions
    Advanced Exploration: For students interested in deeper learning, suggest exploring more advanced settings
    and features of the Sophos Firewall.

    Real-World Application: Discuss real-world scenarios where firewalls play a critical role in cybersecurity.

    This lesson plan introduces students to the fundamental concepts of a Sophos Firewall and its role in data
    protection, aligning with Common Core standards for data identification and interpretation.
