#TechOrTreat Triangle, Square, Circle Reflection

(Live Version of this JPEG HERE.)

I recently sat through a coaching class with @Cben1teach.  During the session he used an exit slip reflection form that I had never seen before. This is a great formative assessment tool for teachers to use to help students think about what they are learning and what they still need to learn. This is by no means mine, but I decided to make a Google Slide Version of this idea for you that you can quickly implement it in your classes.

Here's how it works:

Have students write down something they have learned that SQUARES with their beliefs, then have them write question(s) that are still CIRCLING in their heads, and finally have them write three points (TRIANGLE) they will remember.

I also found another post on The Teacher Toolkit that discusses this strategy. Here are there suggestions:

1. Triangle: After a lesson, have students draw a triangle and next to it write down three important points from the presentation or reading they just saw or completed.

2. Square: Then, have students draw a square and next to it write down anything that
“squares” with their thinking or anything they agree with.

3. Circle: Finally, have the students draw a circle and next to it write down anything
that is still “circling” in their head or questions that they have.
