Switch with 4 GigabitEthernet ports for Packet Tracer lab?

Hi. I am learning how to configure switches and am using Packet Tracer 7.3.1 to help me learn. The lab problem I am working on calls for the configuration of interfaces Gi0/1, Gi0/2, Gi0/3, and Gi0/4 on a switch. The problem is that I am unable to find an appropriate switch with 4 GigabitEthernet ports to use in Packet Tracer. I feel like I am missing something! Does anyone know which switch I would use in Packet Tracer that has 4 GigabitEthernet interfaces  as listed or can someone point me in the right direction?

it is there; L3 c3650 has 24 Gigabit ports plus 4 uplink ports. Numbering starts with Gig1/0/x , so you may have to adopt numbering of ports. 

c3560 has only 2 Gigbit ports as uplink ports.

you can try Empty PT switch and drag fiber 1 gig ports into it.

but numbering will also be messed up; i.e.

interface GigabitEthernet0/1

interface GigabitEthernet1/1

interface GigabitEthernet2/1

interface GigabitEthernet3/1

Format Gi0/0/0 is used for all switches capable of stacking using stackwise technology; aka all stackwise switches. by default those switches are per-programmed with 1/0/y but not with 0/0/y. 

so, then you have x/0/y where x is switch number in a stack; y is a port number.  if you have 9 switches in a stack (9 is also a max number); then x could be from 1-9.  y could be 1-24 or 1-48.  x depends on various factors and is determined during election or booting.
