A suggestion if time , tools , and materials allow would be a " basic 
ntework cables " lesson .
Even if limited to a handout showing the color codes , pair assignments and

Now if the adventuresome wished to make their own cables I can help with 
teaching materials on paper at least and let me know if more is desired .
