Developing on Coal – Exit Ticket

Summary

Developing on Coal Exit Ticket

This exit ticket asks students to list three reasons coal is important to a developing nation, describe two environmental or health impacts of relying on coal, and suggest one realistic strategy to reduce or mitigate those impacts.

The prompt works well as a quick formative assessment after the full lesson or simulation because it requires students to synthesize economic benefits, environmental harms, and practical strategies for change. Teachers looking for coal exit tickets, environmental science formative assessments, or energy tradeoff reflection prompts will find it especially useful.

Extend the Lesson:
Use this exit ticket after the Data Set or Simulation to check whether students can weigh both development benefits and environmental costs.
