Using exit tickets to guide lesson planning

To understand how to write a two-layered explanation. students engage in a ‘surface’ (what new things does the evidence tell us about the story?) and ‘deep’ (why did the author choose to use the language that they did?) analysis of the evidence.

I can write using surface and deep analysis in my explanation. EXIT TICKET: Choose another quotation and write a surface and deep explanation of what this tells us about Edmund’s character Surface: Deep:

Exit ticket example Mark with a code. Marking all exit tickets took 8 minutes: Got both shallow and deep right Got shallow right. Needs more help with deep. Got deep right. Needs more help with shallow. Needs more help with both.

DIRT TIME TASK 1: you did everything perfectly. Practice your excellent skills again. ‘Their branching horns were gilded and shone like something on fire when the sunrise caught them.’ Surface: The adjective ‘gilded’ shows that the witch’s reindeer have gold-plated horns. This shows her wealth and power in Narnia, and that she must be a very important person. Deep: The phrase ‘shone like something on fire’ shows that the author did not just want the reader to see her as wealth. The use of fire might show her as a dangerous character, possibly even as someone devilish or hellish. 2: You need to work on deep analysis. Make sure you think about the reasons why the author chose to use that language. 3: You need to work on shallow analysis. Make sure you think about what new things we learn about the story from the quotation. 4: You need work on both surface and deep. Read 2 and 3 and have another go.
