A seamless way to start and end every class while assessing understanding of each lesson. This has been a staple in my 6th and 7th grade classrooms. I use this for all subjects and it keeps the students organized and on track for the first and last 3-4 minutes of class. It also requires them to be responsible for their work and keep track of their do now/exit slip until the end of the week when it is turned in and graded in a seamless fashion.

Students will demonstrate a thorough understanding of the rock cycle by creating and illustrating their own rock, and writing a story about their rock as it goes through the rock cycle. The directions clearly state that their rock must go through each of the three types of rock at least once, and they must explain what took place in order for their rock to change into each type. At the end, students will illustrate the "Life Cylce" of their rock in an organizer provided.

Students can work in groups or with partners to apply rules of adding, subtracting, and multiplying positive and negative integers. Red cards represent negative integers and black cards represent positive integers. There is a template to guide students for each operation. I used this as a group game where each student is assigned a specific role. There are two players, one dealer and score keeper, and one person who checks each problem with the calculator to confirm which player wins that round.
