Close Lesson

Mrs. Jones closes the lesson with summative activities or tasks to inform the students about where they began, what they learned, and how this lesson relates to future lessons.

Traditional Approach
  • Oral presentation to the class of the groups' findings on the map, including resource information to the class.
  • Each student is to take notes during the presentations.
  • Draw and write a compare/contrast chart about the physical, political, and geographical characteristics of the states presented by all groups.
UDL Approach
  • Provide students with options for presenting information (e.g., presentation may be written, oral, video, or visual).
  • Provide scaffolds and alternate means of collecting information for audience as students make presentations (e.g. recording, notes, response questions).
  • Consider alternatives for writing a compare/contrast chart (e.g., oral, pictorial, digital).
Teacher ViewPolicy View

Summarizing the lesson and/or unit through student presentations is a valuable and effective process.

Alternate means of expressing information allows students to do their best work. Teachers should consider:

  • How they can provide instruction to students to make presentations to the class.
  • What scaffolds they can provide for student note-taking during presentations.
