Regardless of the practices you choose for your students over the course of your learning experience, it is important to spend some time at the end helping the students integrate the practices into a meaningful experience. Below we provide three recommendations for wrapping up the curriculum.

Class Discussion or Writing Assignment
Class Discussion or Writing Assignment
Class discussion can be done on its own or as a prelude to a writing assignment. The advantage of using class discussion is that the dedicated class time for discussion of the practices signals that they have value as part of the class content.
You could choose to do a writing assignment on its own or have students write reflections after doing a class discussion. If there is no class discussion before the writing assignment, you may want to consider sharing out some themes from the assignments to the rest of the class. The advantage of a writing assignment is that it can be graded, which adds perceived value to the practices throughout the course.
Case studies that students could discuss and analyze or write about
How did the individual practices we explored shape your ability to participate in the communal practices?
Did the practices change the classroom environment over the semester? Did you find any individual practice particularly useful?
Do you think these practices would be useful in professional settings you may find yourself in? How likely would you be to use them?
Did discussing these practices affect the way you thought about working in a team or learning as a team? If so, how?
Overall, did the practices aid or detract from your learning? What do you think they did for the learning or work of the team as a whole?
What is one way the practices shaped your experience in the classroom?
Was implementing and discussing these practices a valuable use of classroom or team time?
Do you think these practices would be useful in other professional settings you may find yourself in? If so, how would you use them? How might the implementation of the practices look or feel different if everyone on the team was not practicing them at the same time?
