Ending Your Lesson: 10 Standing Ovation-Worthy Ways to Do It Right
How you end a lesson is just as important as what you do during the lesson itself.
If you’ve ever spent hours prepping and planning for a lesson in your classroom (and I know you have), then after all that hard work you’re likely ready to just be done. Close the teacher planner and move on to the next task.
How we end a lesson however, whether it be a mini-lesson, a whole-class activity, or even in small guided reading groups, shouldn’t be an after-thought.
But - it often is.
Teachers often think that 5 minutes at the end of a lesson couldn’t really hold that much weight. You’ve already taught the important content during the actual lesson — just instruct your kiddos to close their books, put away their papers and get ready for lunch, right? What more is there to do?
PLENTY.
In fact, the final few minutes of your lesson could make a BIG impact on your students’ over-all understanding of what you just spent the last 30 minutes teaching them.
When you spend so much time planning for an epic lesson in your classroom - give it an epic ending! And don’t worry, I’m not giving you just one more thing to do. I’ve already compiled 10 plug-and-play lesson-enders that you can do right away in your classroom!
