Ticket OUT or Ticket IN
Each student must give a ‘ticket out’ before leaving class. A ticket may be anything that was discussed during the
class period: No one may repeat what has already been said It is your choice on whether or not they may look at notes
or textbook. When to use ‘Ticket Out’: During last 5-8 minutes of class Change it to ‘Ticket In’ and use as a review for the first
five minutes of class. Rationale: It gives every student the opportunity to respond and be
involved at least one time during the class period. It makes students responsible for what the have learned.
