Python Programming Language
The Python Print Function Exit Ticket lets kids demonstrate their mastery of the print function.
Python Print Function Exit Ticket
Can they control screen output? Let’s start by giving them an exemplar to teach how we want them to submit code and then let the kids prove they have mastered Python’s print function. The Python Print Function Exit Ticket builds on the Python Print Function and Python Print Function Syntax Resource Packages.
What Do Kids Need To Already Know?
These concepts were covered in the Python Print Function and Python Print Function Syntax Resource Resources:
✔ User-Defined Functions, Main Program
✔ Code Organization
✔ IPO Cycle
✔ Arithmetic Operators
✔ BEDMAS/PEMDAS
✔ Syntax/Compilation Errors
✔ Logic Errors
✔ Integer vs float values
✔ Strings vs Math
✔ Strings: double vs Single quotations
✔ Python:
◆ print( )
◆ string vs numeric output
◆ outputting & controlling strings and numeric data
What Do Kids Learn?
The Python Print Function Exit Ticket Resource activities cover the following concepts:
✤ Program Planning
✤ Debugging
✤ KISS
✤ Internal Documentation: programmer comments (single and multiple)
✤ File Name Rules
✤ Python print () syntax:
◆ , (comma)
◆ * xx (repetition)
What Do Teachers/Parents Need To Know?
The best thing about these resources is that you can learn along with the kids. There are also some Python blog posts that you might be interested in.
Suggested Timeline
It should take most students three 75 minute periods to complete the Python print function exit ticket. Allocate one period for the descriptive feedback assessments and plan, and two for the actual program.
Online Learning Resource
This resource is ideal for independent students. The embedded video teaches file name rules based on the Java file name conventions.
The student handout includes:
2 Embedded Videos
✔ Python Installation Instructions
✔ Student Activity Handout
✔ Textboxes for Student Responses
✔ 2 Descriptive Feedback Assessments
✔ 1 Descriptive Feedback Assessments English UK
✔ Exit Ticket/Culminating Activity
✔ 2 Exit Ticket/Culminating Activity Planning Sheets
Descriptive Feedback Assessments
As this is their first exit ticket, two assessments have been included so students can get feedback before being assessed on their first full program.
These assessments could also be used for evaluation purposes.
Teacher Instructions
The teacher handout explains what pages have been included for English UK vs US as well as the two types of marking schemes. Teachers can then remove any unnecessary pages before students receive the package.

The final package tests their knowledge and understanding of the concepts and skills taught in the previous three resource packages. To view the final resource in this unit: Python Print Function Test.
What’s The Next Unit?
Unit 2 introduces Turtle graphics commands. Turtle has great graphics capabilities. It uses all four quadrants of the Cartesian plane to draw which is a great way to reinforce co-ordinate math.
