Warm-up & Exit Ticket
In this printable warm-up / bell-ringer activity, students will complete a graphic organizer of a small Mind Map using a word bank of terms that they will place where they believe they fit best.
In this exit ticket, students will complete a sentence summarizing the main idea of this unit. They will choose the best answer from multiple choice options for each blank to complete the sentence.
The Warm-up and Exit Ticket document includes two warm-ups on the front of the page and two exit tickets on the back of the page. This formatting reduces the number of copies needed, as teachers will cut each printed page in half. Each student will receive a half-page with the warm-up on the front and the exit on the back.
Suggested Materials not Included:
- A large piece of butcher paper for group work
- Blank pieces of paper for individual or partner work
- Markers or colored pencils.
