Exit tickets are a great way to formatively assess student understanding of content at the end of a lesson. Utilizing analogy prompts as an exit slip is a strategy that will not only provide you with feedback on student learning, but can spark further student conversation about topics. After designating the topic, ask students to come up with an analogy to explain what the concept is like and why. Not only will you be able to gauge understanding, but you can also assess the level of understanding as well.
