It is the time to start thinking about how you will wrap up your courses! The final class is an opportunity to end the semester on a positive note and to help students synthesize what they’ve learned. Consider wrapping up by summarizing the course material, asking students to reflect on their new knowledge, offering and receiving useful feedback about the course, providing students with an opportunity for closure, and helping students feel a sense of achievement and culmination.

Check out how Linta Varghese in Asian American Studies uses Padlet to create a "Wisdom Wall" for student reflection!

Or do a think/pair/share using this prompt: "You’ve got an interview for your dream job. The interviewer, who may become your boss, is looking at your transcript and says, ‘Oh, I see you took INSERT COURSE NAME. Tell me what you learned in that course.’"
