#EduRead - Exit Tickets

I'm so excited about tonight's #EduRead article - The Many Uses of Exit Slips. If you don't know what I'm referring to, #EduRead is a weekly twitter chat where we discuss an article at 8pm Central. You can learn more on the #EduRead blog

Anyway, my students today are taking a mock AP exam, so I decided to clean out my Google Drive and organize it a bit. I ran across a g-doc from 2011 with a list of Exit Ticket Prompts! How fitting that I find this today of all days! :) I did some searching online, but I have no idea where I got this list from, so if it belongs to you, please let me know so I can give it proper credit!

Here's the list:

Wow, that is a very extensive list! Those questions are mostly of the first type the article mentioned, getting formative assessment data about how much students have learned. I would like to try to always add one one of the other types of questions, for example, maybe the one asking students how much effort they put into today's class. And one about my teaching. Thanks for posting these!
