Task 5.1
Task 5.2
Information about wrapping up a lesson. 
The closure is the time when you wrap up a lesson plan 
and help students organize the information in a 
meaningful context in their minds.
A brief summary or overview is often appropriate. 
Another helpful activity is to engage students in a quick 
discussion about what exactly they learned and what it 
means to them now.
Reinforce the most important points so that the learning 
is solidified for future lessons.
The closure step is a chance to do an assessment.
You want to determine whether the students need 
additional practice, or you need to go over the lesson 
again. It allows you to know that the time is right to
move on to the next lesson.
You can use a closure activity to see what conclusions 
the students drew from the lesson.
They could describe how they can use what they learned 
in the lesson. You can ask they to demonstrate how they 
would use the information in solving a problem.
The closure can preview what they students will learn
in the next lesson and provide a smooth transition to
the next lesson.
