What kids do

Teacher tip
Model finding evidence in the text before kids try it on their own.
How to use it
- Give the ticket in the last five minutes of the lesson.
- Keep it short: one or two questions are enough.
- Slide it into a sheet protector and use a dry-erase marker to reuse it all year.
Watch for
Tickets collected but never used. Sort them the same day to plan tomorrow.
Talk about it
