Hydraulic Fracturing – Exit Ticket
Summary
A one-question exit ticket asks students to take and defend a position on hydraulic fracturing in their own community, drawing on what they learned about economic benefits, natural gas emissions, and trade-offs compared to coal. Quick to assign and easy to assess as a formative check on reasoning and evidence use. Works at the close of any hydraulic fracturing lesson or the debate activity.
As you have learned, hydraulic fracturing can provide economic benefits to a community, along with a lower-emission form of energy production (natural gas) compared to coal. Would you support hydraulic fracturing in your community? Why or why not?
