Free exit ticket generator
TeacherHero's exit ticket generator writes the check for the end of a lesson, with its success criteria and the student responses to look for. Below is real output for a Grade 6 ELA lesson, the third day of a five-day week. Inside a full lesson it is generated with your unit, your text, and the five sections that came before it.
One check that tells you whether today landed — with the responses to look for, so a stack of tickets sorts in two minutes.
Exit ticket — two texts on one idea
One sentence that has to connect a story and an article, with the criteria it is checked against and the responses that mean reteach.
The prompt
Write one sentence explaining how the article changes your understanding of Ada’s silence. Connect her silence to her later decision to find Tomas, using evidence from both texts. Explain why courage does not require a person to appear unafraid. Use resolve accurately when you describe Ada’s action.
Success criteria
I explain how the article changes my understanding of Ada’s silence. I use complete evidence from both texts accurately. I explain how Ada’s later action shows resolve despite fear. I write one clear sentence that connects the two texts.
Look for
The article’s warning—“One consequence is that courage is often described wrongly.”—shows that Ada’s silence does not prove she lacks courage, because her later decision to find Tomas shows resolve despite fear.
Reteach when
Reteach students whose responses treat Ada’s silence as proof that she lacks courage, omit the article’s warning, or use resolve as simply feeling brave. Ask students to identify Ada’s silence, identify her later decision to find Tomas, and explain how the article changes the meaning of those details.
Generated on day three of a five-day week, after the article was read that morning and the story on Monday. Inside a lesson the exit ticket is written knowing both texts and the two days before it.
Frequently asked questions
What makes a good exit ticket?
One question, tied to the lesson's target, answerable in under three minutes, and specific enough that a wrong answer tells you what to reteach. If every student could answer it without having attended the lesson, it is measuring something other than today's learning.
Do I need an account?
You do not need an account to inspect the real output on this page. A free account opens with a fully built example lesson rather than an empty screen. Generating a new exit ticket for your own lesson requires TeacherHero Pro, which is $8.99/month, because that request uses the paid AI coach.
How many exit ticket questions should I use?
One, in most lessons. TeacherHero writes one check for the lesson's target, with the success criteria beside it and the responses that mean reteach, so the stack sorts in two minutes. If the lesson ran short, the exemplar doubles as a worked model to close on instead.
Why does the exit ticket come with expected responses?
Because collecting the tickets is the easy part and reading thirty of them cold is not. The look-fors name what counts as evidence and what a partial answer looks like, so the stack sorts into piles in a couple of minutes rather than a free period.
