Exit QuestionsWhat is our class Big Goal?DONT FORGET: Keep up with your tickets for FridayWrite in complete sentences!Dont talk during the Exit Question!

***After explaining the last bullet point, have students get up, leave classroom, re-enter properly.*Some level of amazement because we are this fine-tuned machine, and we are learning how we operate, how this fine-tuned machine works. We are learning everything from how the smallest to the most complex organisms work, and beyond---to multiple generations, millions of years.

*The point: procedures save us time, and we need AS MUCH AS WE CAN GET in order to catch up. We are behind, and we have GOT to WORK HARD to get even.*Point out class mastery tracker, point out class culture day threshold at 90%. No need to go in depth now, will go deeper into this next week.*Biology resumes = used to track progress toward Big Goal. No need to go into detail yet. Explain next Monday, when we do tracking for the first time.**Exit question = assesses THE most important things learned that day. If you can answer the exit question correctly, then you know you learned what you needed to learn.

The exit question is a way for me to understand how well you understood the lesson. Its a waste of my time if you copy or leave it blank*Since I dont know how long periods will run, this slide will stay up for a while and any flex time will be used to begin work on the homework. It should take about 30 minutes to get to here. If periods are (heaven forbid) normal length, keep going.*
