Use them as bell-ringers, mid-lesson checks, “I’m finished” work, sub plans, or end-of-class reflections. Print them, project them, or drop them into Google Classroom—done.

Why quick checks work
- Faster feedback → You learn exactly what to reteach tomorrow.
- Higher engagement → Students know they’ll show what they learned today.
- Less grading load → Most items are brief (MC, short answer, sentence-level).
- Cleaner data → Each ticket targets a specific standard or micro-skill.
A peek at the formats
- Multiple-choice for rapid checks (e.g., greetings, numbers, capitals).
- Short answer to push production (e.g., “Write 2:45 / 10:30 in Spanish”).
- Targeted reflections to make thinking visible (“What still feels tricky?”).
- Mini-dialogues to reinforce interpersonal skills (meeting & greeting, restaurante).
- Mixed practice in upper levels (preterite vs. imperfect, subjunctive triggers, perfect tenses).
Answer keys are included where they make sense, so you can spot-check or let students self-correct in minutes.
