The document discusses the importance of closure in lessons. It states that closure should (1) reinforce the lesson objective and (2) check for student understanding. Effective closure activities include answering questions, addressing what was learned and its significance, and having students demonstrate their achievement or progress towards the objective. An example of a good closure activity is an exit pass where students respond to a posed question, summarize what they learned, or ask their own questions. Closure provides teachers with instant feedback to improve instruction.

5. Closing should address the following
questions:
• What did we learn today?
• What was the significance of what
we learned?
• Can students demonstrate
achievement of or progress
towards the objective?

6. An excellent closure activity is the
EXIT PASS.
On a note card or small piece of
paper, students respond to a
question you have posed orally,
summarize what they have
learned in class, or ask their own
question about the learning or
lesson.http://www.ascd.org/publications/books/109051/chapters/Lesson-Plans-and-Unit-Plans@-The-Basis-for-Instruction.aspx

7. Student RESPONSES in these sorts
of closure activities provide you with
instant feedback for adjustment of
your instruction.
If another group of students is coming to class for the same
lesson, you can make modifications based on the
information just gathered from your students.
This feedback is also helpful for determining the
effectiveness of instruction.

8. In CLOSING,
think whether your class has
reached the goal you had at the
beginning.
