The Lesson Wrap-Up Cube is an effective yet simple way to wrap-up a lesson or class session. It is a soft cube (feels like foam like a stress relief ball) that can be passed around the class and the question that is displayed on the top part of the cube is what the student answers. Thereafter the student can pass it to another student. Questions on the cube help to gather how students will utilize what they learned not only in the classroom, but outside of it as well.
What is the benefit of this tool?
This tool is beneficial as it is a simple yet low tech tool to gauge student knowledge of the information taught. It is a quick way to get feedback on student retention of information taught.
What is the disadvantage of this tool?
For students who may be introverts, it may be challenging as in their eyes it may be similar to being called on in class by the professor.
Is there a cost associated with this tool?
Just the cost of the Lesson Wrap-Up Cube, which as of this post is $16.00 + tax and shipping. You can search “Lesson Wrap-Up Cube” online and you will see the various options to purchase the cube.
Thoughts…
This would be a low stake review option and I usually utilize it about 10-15 minutes before class ends. It is a good refresher for students as a lesson wrap up and it may help to retain information as their peers are the ones sharing the information.
