Introduction
|
Introduction and presentation go together because the introduction usually leads right into the presentation phase of the lesson. They are still separate parts, however, because they accomplish different purposes. The INTRODUCTION provides interest and motivation to the students. It focuses students' attention on the lesson and its purposes. It also convinces students that they will benefit from the lesson. |
There are many ways to present an introduction. Here are a few:

Task
Present your written report on this lesson by answering the four (4) questions.
Self-evaluation is a very important part of every lesson even though it typically takes place after the lesson is over. It requires you to think back on the lesson and consider the answers to questions like these:
- What went well in this lesson? Why?
- What problems did I experience? Why?
- What could I have done differently?
- What did I learn from this experience that will help me in the future?

Conclusion
The closure is the final step in writing a strong and effective lesson plan for elementary school students. After defining the Objective, Anticipatory Set, Direct Instruction, and Guided Practice, the Closure section provides a fitting conclusion and context for the student learning that has taken place.
WHAT IS CLOSURE IN A LESSON PLAN?
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.
WRITING AN EFFECTIVE CLOSURE IN YOUR LESSON PLAN
It is not enough to simply say, "Are there any questions?" in the Closure section. Similar to the conclusion in a 5-paragraph essay, look for a way to add some insight and/or context to the lesson. It should be a meaningful end to the lesson.
Look for areas of confusion that you can quickly clear up. 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.
EXAMPLES OF CLOSURE IN A LESSON PLAN
- Discuss new things that the students learned about plants and animals.
- Summarize the characteristics of plants and animals and how they compare and contrast.
- Ask what information from the lesson the students will find important three years from now and why.
- Exit tickets: have the students write what they learned and any remaining questions on a slip of paper with their name. As they leave the class, they can place these in bins labeled as to whether they understood the lesson, need more practice or information, or need more help. These can also be simply labeled stop, go, or proceed with caution.
- Ask the students to summarize the lesson to explain to someone who missed the class. Give them a couple of minutes and then either have them turn them in for you to read or have a few presented to the class.
- Write several yes/no questions of key points from the lesson. Then pose them to the class for a quick thumbs up/thumbs down for each one. These yes/no questions will show how well the class understood those points. If there is confusion, you will know which points of the lesson need more clarification and reinforcement.

A WebQuest usually includes sections for Introduction, Task, Process, Evaluation, Conclusion, and Credits.
The Introduction describes the nature of the lesson and the essential question(s) that will be answered through completion of the exercise.
The Task section describes the expected results for the WebQuest. This would include a description of the final work product.
The Process tells students how they should go about accomplishing the end result. This section would include your links to Web sources.
The Evaluation provides a concrete explanation of how performance will be evaluated. This is usually accomplished through the creation of a rubric.
The Conclusion provides a summary and ties it all together. This section may also include additional Web links for further study.
The Credits section provides links and citations for any sources of information, including media, that you have used while completing the WebQuest.
