An Exit Ticket is a quick check exercise that takes place in the last five minutes of your class. With Socrative, you can take advantage of our Exit Ticket template, or design your own Exit Ticket activity prior to class. Either way, you won’t end up with a pile of uncorrected paper slips that stare at you all afternoon. You’ll get a report that you can use to tailor that night’s homework assignment or clear up a misconception. So what can you capture?

Exit Tickets provide you an opportunity to take a snapshot of students’:

• current understanding of key concepts:
• feelings about their understanding, i.e. critical evaluation of their own learning;
• lingering questions;
• preference for methods of content delivery, eg group discovery, videos, teacher-led presentation;
• requests for support exercises;
• attitude towards class.

What does our Template Capture? – 3 questions

1. How well did you understand today’s material? (Multiple Choice)
2. What did you learn today? (Open Response)
3. Please answer your teacher’s question (Your opportunity to ask and capture any question you’d like)
