Keep this in mind: If you want students to remember what they learn, give them a structured way to reflect and process new information before they leave the classroom.
Why?
Many students forget key concepts soon after the lesson. The 3-2-1 Summarizing Technique is a quick and effective way to reinforce learning and improve retention.
How does it work?
At the end of a lesson, ask students to write down:
✅ 3 things they learned – Key takeaways from the lesson.
❓ 2 questions they still have – Anything they need clarification on.
🌟 1 key idea to remember – The most important concept from the lesson.
How to make it more engaging?
🔴 Pair & Share – Have students compare their 3-2-1 responses before sharing with the class.
🔴 Sticky Note Board – Ask students to write their answers on sticky notes and post them on a board for discussion.
🔴 Tech Option – Use Google Forms or Padlet for quick digital submissions.
Bonus Tip:
Start the next lesson by addressing students’ 2️⃣ questions from the previous class. This builds curiosity and connects past and future learning.
