Tips to close out class

1. Exit Tickets or Tickets to Leave

With 5 minutes left in class, present students with a small form that requires them to answer a few questions about the core concepts of the lesson for that class period or gives them space to reflect on what was the most important thing they learned in that class. The students then present their “ticket” on their way out of class.

2. Journal writing

Provide time at the end of class for students to write journal entries about the concepts discussed, including any questions they have about the material. It allows time to process any concepts learned in the class period and provides potential questions to address in future sessions.

3. Provide an outline after the lesson

Provide students an outline of the material they should have learned during the lessons for that class.
