Activity 1: Formative Assessment
A Ticket out the Door is just a short assignment such as a paragraph about something taught during that class period. Students have to turn it in order to leave. This allows a basic assessment of where kids are while not being as formal as a quiz or similar thing. If concept is chosen wisely it could also be a way to connect with students, such as asking how the days topic could affect their lives or how they see it being used in the future.In cases where a formal assessment might be overkill, a "ticket out the door" could be more useful.
