At the conclusion of a lesson, adult education instructor Duane Lambert asks learners to identify something they learned, the questions they have, and the concepts that connect with something they already know.

These resources are part of KET's Teaching Strategies collection.

open Background Essay

At the conclusion of a lesson, it is helpful to have students reflect on the topic and consider how, or if, it relates to prior knowledge. Having an activity or a short questionnaire to complete at the end of every class will help them with this process. You may tailor the closure activity to fit your situation and your learners, but some helpful questions to ask are:

  • What is something that you learned today?
  • What is something that you still have questions about?
  • What is one thing that you learned today that you can connect with something that you already know?


open Discussion Questions

  • Why do you think the teacher in the video had his learners answer the three questions?
  • Do you have a process for reflecting on the information presented in class? If so, explain.
  • How does reflection after class help with learning?
  • Can you think of other questions that would be helpful to ask after a lesson?
