The document provides instructions for classroom activities called "plenaries" which are used to summarize and assess student learning. The plenaries include having students: 1) complete learning triangles to self-assess their understanding, 2) write steps to common tasks to relate lessons to real world examples, and 3) work with partners to give peer feedback on their learning. The goal is to help students consolidate their knowledge and identify areas for improvement.
