Wouldn’t it be great to have a unit’s worth of exit tickets compiled and filed for parent/teacher interviews? My students seem to think it’s cool, too, but I wonder if it’s because it’s novel.
I think that novelty is actually an important ingredient in student engagement: I remember at Klingenstein Summer Institute, one of my professors called this “cognitive shock”…it’s not enough to rely on this alone for students to be interested in what we are teaching, but it has value, I think.
Have you had a chance to experiment with this in your classroom lately? What else have you been exploring since our first F2F?
