Phase 4: Closure – Reflection / Assessment / Review / Evaluation --- The End

Clean up
Enrichment:
Include at least one activity or task that extends the lesson. This can be used for students who have completed the main
tasks or if you have completed the lesson and have additional time.
Work that is more delicate in nature can be done with narrow 1/8" strips of thinner paper.
This paper can be rolled on a toothpick and pinched into elaborate shapes.
Students that finish early will be encouraged to attempt more elaborate designs
Remediation:
Provide at least one example of how you could simplify the task for students having difficulty.
Students experiencing difficulty may need assistance cutting, rolling and gluing paper. My create additions to mobile that
are simpler to construct i.e., grass, stems for flowers etc.
