Note to teachers: Table of Contents One: Organized by Grade Level and Standards (Specific Sub-Standards)Table of Contents Two: Organized Numerically by page number and then its content.Table of Contents Three: Organized by exit ticket number and color coded to match Table of Contents number Two.
There are three types of Table of Contents. When I made these exit tickets, each ticket was based on what we were studying in terms of language/grammar through our mentor sentences. I made sure all standards were taught, but not necessarily in perfect order.
The first Table of Contents is organized by standards and sub-standards. Just find your grade level (6th, 7th, or 8th), then find the standard you want to assess, and then find the page number(s) or exit ticket number(s) of the corresponding exit tickets.
The second set of Table of Contents has the main grammar and language concepts, then all the exit tickets that correspond to those concepts.
The third set of Table of Contents is color-coded and organized by page number of the exit tickets. It has the exit ticket numbers in orders with a note on what content is being assessed in each ticket. If you are using my mentor sentences resource, this goes in the same order as the mentor sentence assessments.
