High [9th-12th] Classroom

Post-It Note Exit Slips

Created on August 23, 2013 by MrsImpey

To incorporate Marzano and the idea of having students assess their own learning, I will be incorporating this Post-It note exit slip system into the high school art room. This can also be a good way to track student progress.

THE PLAN
http://www.artroom104.blogspot.com/2013/07/creative-juices-are-flowing.html
I placed and traced 25 Post-It notes (as that is the maximum class size our union will allow) on large, no-fade art paper. I numbered each note and, labeled the poster with the class name, and laminated each poster. Each student will be assigned an individual number that only I will know, assuming they keep it confidential. At the end of class, students will be given a question to answer on a Post-It. Before leaving, they must place their Post-It on their number on their assigned poster. Questions can focus on information that was learned in class that day, reflection on art project progress, or even a review question from a past unit.

**This is also a great way to take daily attendance if you don't have time at the beginning of class!

**In order to save money and Post-Its, I plan on having students write the date before their answer. Depending on answer length, they may be able to write 2-3 exit slip questions on each Post-It note.

    cool idea. Our union let 32 kids in a class-- 160 students daily. I don't think I have enough post it notes... But EVERYONE loves post it notes!

    Yes, I've been stocking up when I see them go on sale. I was unexpectedly made K-12 in May when our district ran into some budget issues and offered early retirement to the high school teacher. If I would have known before that, I would have stocked up on the Post-It notes from the Boces bids because they are dirt cheap!

    I have used a similar process with 5th graders. Instead of blocking out spots for each post-it, I made a poster that looked like a traffic light. The kids that "got it" wrote something they learned and put their note on the green circle. Kids that mostly understood wrote one question and put it on the yellow circle, and kids that were completely confused wrote at least one question and put it on the red circle. That way I only needed one sign, as I teach 30 classes.

    Ooh, I like that idea for elementary! I'm still struggling with how to do this kind of self-assessment every class period with the elementary kids. Now that I only see them once a six day cycle, I've put trying to figure it out on the back burner, but I like the stop light idea! It would correspond with my Marzano self-assessment scale.

    I love this idea! I have 26 classes, but I might do this with my 4th grade and 5th grade this year. I have 5th grade in the morning and 4th grade in the afternoon, so it gives me enough time to pull off the stickies and check them. I also have a lot of those old envelopes seen in library books back in the day. They could be pockets instead if getting enough sticky notes were a problem. Thanks for sharing!
