Here Are Some Questions I Use For Class Closing Activities — What Are Yours?

Here Are Some Questions I Use For Class Closing Activities — What Are Yours? | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

"I've previously written about research on the importance of “good endings.” It’s a priority for me to end my classes on an upbeat note, but I’ve been thinking lately that I might be able to enhance its benefit to students if I’m a bit more intentional about it with a regular formal closing activity that might take a minute or two. I’ve certainly often done this, but I’m going to try doing it more like 70-80% of the time instead of its present 50%."

 

Beth Dichter's insight:

What do you use for exit slips? Larry Ferlazzo shares a number of questions he asks his students and suggests that you share yours so he may compile a list and share it on his blog. Below are a few of his questions. Can you come up with more?

* Think of one thing you have learned in class that you can apply in another class or another part of your life. What is it, and how can you apply it?

* How does something you learned today connect to what you already knew?

* How would you teach one thing you learned to your little brother or sister (even if you don’t have one)?

* What questions do you still have?

Managers can ask these questions of employees who have just returned from training. It will help them assimilate what they've learned. Ask them to share their responses with the team and everyone learns.
