Exit Slips or ticket out requires students to respond to teacher prompt and reflect on their learning. Students have time to reflect on the content, what the learned, and express what they did not understand. Students usually do these at the end of the class period and turn in to the teacher before they leave the room. Exit slips are beneficial because they require students to think critically and are an easy way to incorporate writing into other content areas.
Possible prompts could be: How did your lab group work together today? Write one question you have after todays lesson. Discuss how todays lesson could be used in the real world. Please explain more about I did not understand I wish
I plan to use exit slips as a way to reflect more on my own teaching. I can use exit slips as a way to informally assess my students and how to be a better facilitator based on their responses. In this lesson, I will give students the choice of picking an exit slip to display their understanding of symbiotic relationships. Purpose/Focus of Lesson (the big idea): The purpose of using this strategy is to informally assess students and know their level of knowledge after learning new content. Instruction Grouping: Individual Whole Group Small Group Peer Partners Homogeneous Heterogeneous
What will be differentiated: Content Process Product Learner Elements Involved: Readiness Interest Learning Profile As a result of this lesson what you hope your students will:
Students will Know: the three types of symbiosis: communalism, mutualism, and parasitism.
Students will Understand: how symbiotic relationships affect environmental change and adaptations.
Students will be able to: demonstrate their knowledge on an exit slip or ticket out.
Pre-assessment: There is not a pre-assessment with this strategy. This information will be used as a pre-assessment and give the teacher data on student understanding. Resources/References: Teachers Pay Teachers (to get examples of different possible exit slips to use)
