50 Entrance Slips for Library (Bundle) with Lesson Plans, Tests, and Answer Keys

Non-traditional and special education students come to a middle school's library with a variety of skills and abilities! But how do we harness them? My "entrance slips" get handed out at the start of class each day, and can be filled out with a word, a verbal description, or a full sentence, depending upon the ability level of your middle schoolers.

The nice thing about these "Entrance Slips for Library" is that they are totally versatile. You can hand out all 5 at the start of the week or cut them into strips to hand them out day-by-day.

This bundle comes with a total of 50 entrance slips, a final exam or final project, an answer key for the final, and a lesson plan. The final exam or final project can also be printed week-by-week to be given as smaller quizzes.

The final exam / final project is literally the exact same concept-review sheet as the entrance slips, except it's missing the key words/vocabulary terms. For special ed students who have memory issues, you can allow them to use their graded entrance slips to help them on the tests/quizzes, or for more traditional students, ask them to try to remember what key word goes with each of the concept images.

Please note that some concept ideas repeat; in particular, you'll find research concepts like quotation marks, citations, and internet safety tend to repeat. That's because resource students often need that repetition.

Also the AASL Standards Framework for Learners repeat: inquire, include, collaborate, curate, explore, and engage.

For the entrance slips, each concept is presented with a memorable graphic image, a vocabulary word or key phrase, and two lines to write on. For the final exam, the two lines are provided with only the image from the original entrance slip. Each page of the final has a name slot and directions, so you can use these for week-by-week quizzes.

The lesson plan can be handed to any paraprofessionals you're working with, to make sure everyone on the educational team is on the same trajectory, to help our students -- both traditional and nontraditional -- reach their highest potential during library time!
