10. Closure This is the end of the lesson where you debrief with your student, connect lesson to the next day, assign homework, clean up, etc.

11. Reflection A section of your lesson plan where you may make notes after you have taught the lesson. What you would keep the same and what you would change? This will be tremendous help when you evaluate your curriculum for the next year.

12. Timing Always be sure to have enough time for your activities. You don’t want to have too much time, or not enough. To help you with this, it is a good idea to put how much time you want to spend on each activity in the margin of your lesson plan.
