Warm-up and Exit Ticket
In this printable warm-up / bell-ringer activity, students will identify key concepts and topics from Early Statehood that they think are likely to be on the Unit 7 test based on a graphic organizer providing nine possible topic options.
In this exit ticket, students will complete the prompts in a graphic organizer self-assessing their preparedness for the Unit 7 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.
