Exit Ticket Bank

Exit tickets are short, low-pressure prompts used at the end of a 10-20 minute lesson. Pick one and ask it out loud -- no writing required. These work with any lesson in this curriculum.

Recall​

  • One thing from today was...
  • One new word or idea I heard was...
  • Tell me in one sentence what today was about.

Explain​

  • How would you explain this to a younger kid?
  • Put the main idea into one sentence.
  • What is the most important thing to remember?

Apply​

  • Where might you see this in real life?
  • Can you think of a real example that connects to today?
  • What would change if you knew this earlier?

Reflect​

  • What surprised you about today?
  • What part made you think the hardest?
  • Did anything today change how you think about something?
  • What are you still wondering?

Connect​

  • Does this connect to anything else we have talked about?
  • How is this similar to or different from something you already knew?

Question​

  • What is one question you still have?
  • What would you want to know more about?

How to Use​

Use any of these out loud as a spoken conversation. No names or answers need to be recorded. Students can say "I am still thinking" -- that is fine.
