Thirty-six DOK-leveled ELA exit tickets for Grades 6-8 across twelve reading and analysis skills, with three depth-of-knowledge levels per skill. Editable slides and print-ready PDF.

These exit tickets give middle-school English teachers a fast, focused way to capture how students think about a text, not just whether they got the answer right. You get 36 exit tickets spanning 12 core reading and analysis skills, each written at three Depth of Knowledge levels so you can meet students where they are and push them further.

The three-level design does the differentiation for you: DOK 1 checks recall, DOK 2 asks students to apply a skill, and DOK 3 pushes into analysis, justification, and strategic reasoning. Use one level for a whole-class check and another for small-group or extension work, all from the same skill set.

They suit IB MYP classrooms and any secondary English setting, and they are aligned to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for Grades 6, 7, and 8. No prep - print and go, or assign the editable slides digitally for a paperless classroom.
