Exit Tickets

• Door Slap - Door Slap requires three different colored post it notes. Each color represents the level of comprehension. For example, the teacher may have red, yellow and green post it notes. I would explain that the green post it notes mean that I understand this information completely. The yellow post it means that you sort of get it but are maybe a little confused. Lastly, the red post it notes means that the student does not understand the content and needs more clarification. The instructor would then instruct the students to choose the colored post it that correlates with their level of comprehension and as they leave the room the students slap that post it against the door. This will give the teacher a visual representation of how many students are fully understanding the lesson and how many are confused.
• 5 Fingers- After a lesson, in order to determine the class's comprehension the teacher may ask the students to show with their fingers how well they understand the content. The teacher should either explain what each finger represents or this may be something the teacher likes to do and the children will already know the finger representations.

Finger representation

1 finger- No clue

2 fingers- Sort of understand but still needs help from the teacher

3 fingers- Kind of understand but needs help from a peer

4 fingers- I understand, I can do this

5 fingers- I am confident and can help someone

• Moose Ears- Moose ears is a fun way for students' to let their teacher know if they understand the content. The moose ears are the children's hands spread wide open with their thumbs on the side of their head. If their hands are down then they are saying they don't know or don't understand. If their hands are up then they understand the content. Lastly, if their hands are up and wiggling than they are saying that they feel confident in their understanding, enough to teach it.
• Snowstorm- For this exit ticket the teacher needs a bucket of some sort. Students write down what they learned on a piece of scratch paper and crumple it up into a ball. When the teacher gives the signal the students throw their paper at the bucket. Then each student picks up at least 5 different balls of paper that didn't make it into the bucket and places it in the bucket.
• Verbal Exit Ticket-

All the students will stand in line as the teacher is standing at the door. Each student must tell the teacher one thing they learned. But, the students cannot repeat what another student said. The students are able to talk in line about possible answers.

• 3,2,1 Exit Ticket

The teacher can either already have the exit tickets printed out or instruct students to take out a sheet of paper. The students will write three things they learned from the lesson, two questions they still have and one idea that stuck with them. The teacher can either collect them or have the students place them on a designated table.
