I am struggling to come up with various forms of tickets out the door. Suggestions? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) In lieu of a ticket out the door I have incorporated a quick Kagan strategy for summarizing my lessons. My favorite is "Take-Off" or "Touch-Down." I ask the students a review question from the lesson taught that day or even the previous day. The students then stand up (take-off) if they know it or stay seated/sit back down (touch-down) if they don't. I then call on one of the students standing to answer the question. It is a very quick and easy way to see who retained and/or understood information from that day's lesson or those who did not.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I really like this idea. I will be using this in my classroom. Rated On: October 16, 2015 1:14 am Rated By: Ashley Lewis
