Show-Glow-Grow

Purpose

Students create a detailed Show-Glow-Grow exit ticket by describing what they’ve learned, creating a visual, and summarizing with a hashtag.

Materials

• Show-Glow-Grow handout
• Show-Glow-Grow template (English/Spanish)
• Notebook paper (if handout is projected)

Instructions

1. Assign a targeted concept.
2. Project or distribute the Show-Glow-Grow handout.
3. Students create a Show-Glow-Grow exit ticket, using these prompts:
   • Show you know “what’s happening” by writing what you learned in 2-3 sentences.
   • Show you can create a graphic, diagram, or sketch to capture the idea visually.
   • Show you can connect the concept to the bigger idea by creating a hashtag.
4. Students stand and quickly trade papers with 5 other students without reading anyone else’s papers.
5. Students read the final paper they receive and write 1 Glow (compliment) and 1 Grow (new idea) on their peer’s exit ticket.
6. Collect all Show-Glow-Grow exit tickets, evaluate students’ understanding, and clarify/verify as appropriate.

Classroom Management

• Conduct a think-aloud to model the Show-Glow-Grow exit ticket.
• Role-play the glow and grow movement part of the activity.

Differentiation

• Promote access to content by allowing students to use notes, journals, and visuals to aid memory.
• Promote response support by allowing students to dictate answers to a scribe, provide more detailed stems to frame responses, and/or allow speech-to-text technology assistance.

Think It Up!

• Have students think more deeply about the concept by responding to a Think It Up prompt as an exit ticket or journal entry:
  • Draw a conclusion about how this concept might be tested.
  • Make a connection to the concept represented in the Show-Glow-Grow exit ticket to another concept. How are they related?
• Encourage students to use lead4ward’s Thinking Stems (English/Spanish) to frame their responses, if needed.
