Thirty-six DOK-leveled ELA exit tickets for Grades 9-12 across twelve close-reading and analysis skills, with three depth-of-knowledge levels per skill. Editable slides and print-ready PDF.

These exit tickets give high-school English teachers a fast, rigorous way to capture how students reason about a text, not just whether they reached the right answer. You get 36 exit tickets spanning 12 close-reading and literary-analysis skills, each written at three Depth of Knowledge levels so you can check understanding and stretch students toward genuine critical thinking.

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, synthesis, and evidence-based argument. 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 DP and MYP classrooms and any secondary English setting, and they are aligned to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for Grades 9 through 12. No prep - print and go, or assign the editable slides digitally for a paperless classroom.
