What kids do
“Cut apart the tickets. Students write the part of today’s lesson that is still muddy, or unclear, and what would help.”
Printed on the sheet:
- The part that is still unclear to me is…
Teacher tip
Start the next lesson with the most common muddy point.
How to use it
- Give the ticket in the last five minutes of the lesson.
- Keep it short: one or two questions are enough.
- Introduce the sheet once, model it, then make it part of a routine so kids know what to expect.
Watch for
Tickets collected but never used. Sort them the same day to plan tomorrow.
