9th Grade Lit Terms Entrance Cards

9th Grade Literature Terms Entrance Cards This printable deck of entrance cards helps 9th grade English teachers assess student understanding of key literary terms prior to each class. As students enter, the teacher can ask for a definition or example of the term printed on a randomly selected card. If a student answers correctly, they may enter and take their seat. If uncertain, the student moves to the back of the line to study their notes or ask a peer before trying again. Over time, this quick yet meaningful check allows teachers to gauge comprehension of terms in a formative way. Cards touch on concepts like imagery, diction, syntax, theme, and more. Print 6 cards per page for convenient use. Consider small groups, partners, or a whole class approach to entrance card implementation for engaging repetition.
