Three identical exit slips run across the two pages, two on the first and one on the second. Each slip asks 3rd graders to name one way school was different long ago and one thing they would miss most if they lived 100 years ago. A row of five faces, from angry to happy, closes the slip. It wraps up a communities past and present lesson and matches C3 Framework D2.His.2.3-5. The replies are open, so there is no answer key.
D2.His.2.3-5
“Compare life in specific historical time periods to life today.”
Both questions ask students to set life long ago against life now, with school as the fixed point in question 1.
Under the name line, students write one way school was different long ago than it is today.
Students write the one thing they would miss the most if they lived 100 years ago.
Five faces, from angry to smiling, let students show how they feel about the lesson.
Last five minutes
Hand out slips as students pack up. If question 1 only says "no computers," that student probably missed the slates, the single teacher, or the one-room schoolhouse from your lesson.
Next-day review
Read question 2 answers aloud the next morning without names. Grouping them into travel, talking to friends, and home life makes a two-minute recap.
Printing tip
Print both pages to get three slips, then cut along the box edges. The face row sits under the two questions, so a sad face next to a thin answer tells you who to check in with.
