Exploring Pinterest, I found this great idea for an Exit Ticket.

It would be ideal to have a bristol board poster in the classroom, and post different questions on the bristol board. The teacher could write an equation or question on a piece of paper and stick it to the top of the bristol board throughout the school year. Students would then be directed to create a response to the given question and record their answer on a post-it note and post it on the board before they leave class.
This could be used after implementing a new concept to see if students understand the new content.
I think this is a great idea, and an easy way to ensure students understand what is going on.
I would like to hear the opinions of others, does anyone do something like this in their class?
I am a big fan of Exit Tickets, especially within math class. During my practicums I implemented many exit tickets. I would give the students about 15 minutes at the end of the class in order to complete a question based on the lesson that was just taught. After 15 minutes I would collect, assess and mark these exit tickets in order to provide feedback the students before the next math lesson began. Sometimes this was tedious as it took some time to look over every exit ticket and provide individual feedback before the next math lesson (which was usually the following day). I like this idea of posting a question on a Bristol board and then having students use a post-it note in order to post their answer on the board before they leave the class. This is great as it allows not only for teacher feedback, but peer-feedback as well as students can have an opportunity to look what their fellow-peers have written and to comment on why or why not they agree or disagree with the content.
ReplyDeleteI agree with both of you, exit tickets can be great in the classroom. Continuing with what Jessica had mentioned about giving quick and easy feedback, the feedback can also be used by the teacher, to see where students are at, and if they still need to work on a certain subject, or are ready to move on. It is so quick, and small that it can be done without to much hassle. Keeping the questions short, and direct (maybe mainly knowledge based) could help make them easier to mark each day, and make it just a quick addition to the rest of the math lesson.
