Warm-up and Exit Ticket
In this printable warm-up / bell-ringer activity, students will preview 4 vocabulary terms from the unit and evaluate their prior knowledge of each term.
In this exit ticket, students will use a word bank of different terms to choose terms that are related to the major themes in our unit. They will highlight or circle these terms.
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 exit ticket on the back.
