General Overview

Closure of a lesson It’s happened to all of us, the intention is there but just as you’re thinking “I still have ten minutes…” the bell rings and the lesson ends with a frantic collection of work! Closing a lesson is just as important as the warm up, teaching instruction and independent work. A good closure will create a lasting impression and will have students reflecting on their own learning. It will also make a lesson more meaningful and relevant to the students and create a connection to previous knowledge. In an effective closure, the teacher will review and summarize a lesson, consolidate key information, create a link to new ideas and build anticipation for the next lesson. During a good closure, the students will be given an opportunity to express any concerns, ask questions and clarify their own understandings. It will also give students the chance to celebrate and share any personal achievements with their peers. Closing a lesson can also be used as an assessment tool for the teacher, indicating whether the students understood the lesson objective or if the teacher needs to alter the delivery of their lesson. As a teacher, it is important to keep an eye on the clock and manage your lesson to ensure you have adequate time for the essential closure. Outlined below are eight fun and effective suggestions for closing a lesson in your classroom.
