While reading the Marshall Memo, Robert Marzano listed
four types of prompts for exit slips. Maybe this might be helpful to someone...
• Prompts
to check for understanding – The teacher might ask students, “What are
you most confused about regarding what we did in class today?” The slips might
lead the teacher to re-teach a particular concept, break students into groups
for help in different areas, and perhaps use expert students to run some of the
groups.
• Prompts
to promote reflection – The teacher might ask students, “How hard did
you work today and why?” or “What could you have done today to help yourself
learn better?” and then follow up accordingly.
• Prompts
on instructional strategies – For example, “How did the group work
today help you understand the content? What are some things you’d like to see
during group work in the future?”
• General
teaching suggestions – For example, “What is something I should be
doing to improve your understanding of the content?” Marzano says this sends an
important message to students – “that everyone is a learner, even the teacher –
and that there’s no shame in admitting you’re not doing well at something and
seeking help.”
