Lesson Closures
I was recently reading the July/August 2021 issue of \u201cScience Scope\u201d a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.\xa0\xa0In this issue, I read the section \u201cScience For All\u201d written by Kaitlyn McGlynn and Janey Kelly.\xa0\xa0They wrote an article entitled \u201cWrapping It Up: Meaningful and Inclusive Lesson Closures to Recap the Day\u2019s Learning.\u201d
Lesson closure provides a time for students to pause and ponder what they have just learned during the lesson as well as where their level of understanding currently lies.\xa0\xa0They discuss their favorite lesson closures, which include:
- Whip Around
- Elevator Pitch
- Thumbs Up, Middle Thumbs, Thumbs Down
- Stick it!
- Any Questions?
