Warm-up & Exit Ticket
In this printable warm-up / bell-ringer activity, students will respond to a paper-adapted version of the STAAR hot spot question type to choose which topics and themes they believe are most likely to appear on the Unit 11 test.
In this exit ticket, students will answer a series of questions to self-assess and reflect on their preparedness for the test.
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.
