A quick exit ticket for Year 1 sentence punctuation, printed three to a page so one sheet serves three pupils. Each ticket has two tasks. Pupils add finger spaces to thesunishot, then fix a frog can jump with a capital letter and a full stop. A row of five faces lets them show how they feel about the lesson. Two pages give six tickets. The ticket checks the England National Curriculum objectives on spaces and sentence punctuation.
