More Lesson Closure Ideas

Ask questions:

  • What is one thing you learned today?
  • How does today's lesson impact your understanding of _______________?  
  • How would you summarize today's learning for someone who wasn't here? 
  • What was the most significant learning from today?
  • What "a-ha" did you have today?
  • What was the most difficult concept in today’s lesson?  Why?
  • What should I review further in our next lesson?

If you are running short on time:

  • On a scale of 1-5—using your fingers—rate today's lesson. To eliminate peer pressure, have everyone close their eyes.  
  • Whip around:  Have each student share one word or concept they learned.


Get-Out-of-Class Ticket

  • Ask students to write down one potential TEST QUESTION from today's lesson. Collect them as your students leave the room, a ticket out of class, if you will. Hang on to them. You might want to use one or two on an upcoming unit exam. This also provides a chance to personally connect. Saying goodbye is an opportunity to build up individual relationships with your students which, in turn, helps build up a positive classroom culture.
