Introduction

Exit tickets are a great way to introduce your students to metacognitive practices. 3 seemingly simple slides that will highlight to your students how to be more reflective learners. Feel free to edit the slides as you see fit, and consider what the most useful information you can gather from your students is, using these as a basis.

Instructions

Simply edit or adapt the question wording as you see fit and insert them into your lesson! We recommend having all 3 questions in as a plenary at the end of your lessons. But this would also work well as an end of unit assignment, or a summary of the weeks lessons.

Learning Matrixes.

Template learning matrixes for you to regularly share with your students, as either a static image to fill out independently - or as one of the included interactive elements, directly into your lesson. Feel free to save the slides to your area, (or favourite them for easy access to re-use often), and edit the language and styling to suit you!

One of the simplest ways for you to introduce metacognitive practices into your classroom is through exit tickets. Three simple questions, 

usable in any of your lessons in the same format shown here.

Not only does it encourage your students to be introspective on 

their learning, but also provides you with valuable information

to inform your future planning. Think of it as a way to help

your students build a foundation for being more reflective 

learners. It will take time, and wont always be perfect, 

but thats OK. Just like playing with lego bricks..

Exit Tickets

We encourage you to save the slides to your area, (or favourite them for easy access to reuse often), and edit the language and style to suit you.

Remember: the language we have used, does not have to be the same that you do - the formation, application and practices of the task are what's important to remain the same. What you call them should be comprehensible and repeatable for you and your students.

Tell me 3 things you learnt this lesson.

Very self explanatory. If they can't think of three things - ask them to tell you how it links to a previous lesson or term, maybe ask them to answer a simple exam question instead? You can also change this to allow for photo responses, so your students can take a picture of the work they have completed - a great routine to get into to keep a centralised bank of your students work in LessonUp. 

Feel free to change the language on this slide to suit the levels of your learners, subject specialist language and your own personality!

Tell me 2 things you'd like more information on.

Here the students will either pick something they are interested in and want to explore further, or one of the areas of your lesson that they may have struggled with. Maybe it's a key word, question type or concept. It may even be as simple as a rephrasing of something you said during your teaching time.

Feel free to change the language on this slide to suit the levels of your learners, subject specialist language and your own personality!

Tell me 1 thing we need to
go over again.

This question may not always have an answer from the topic you have just covered, so ask them to think back to a previous topic and see if they can highlight anything they would like some support on.

Aardappeloproer

1917

Enkele Amsterdamse vrouwen zagen dat er een schip vol aardappelen in een van de grachten lag. Ze gingen erop af en plunderden het schip: hun schorten vol aardappelen. De dag erna waren er meer plunderaars. Pas nadat zes mensen door het leger werden doodgeschoten, keerde de rust terug
