I know that many of you already use Exit Tickets at the end of class, but I wanted to share a slightly different approach to using Exit Tickets. Why not use this tool to gauge student thoughts on your class? You can even use the results to see if your students felt challenged. Below is a link to a template for an Exit Ticket. You are free to modify this as you wish.

Using this Exit Ticket
With about five minutes left in class, you could use Google Classroom to push your Exit Ticket out to your students. If you wish to ask students a specific question over content shared in your class, you can either write the question on your board or add it in the instructions in your Google Classroom assignment. While your students are filling out their Exit Tickets, you may also want to take time to reflect on how you felt the class went and what changes you might want to make before your next class.
Not only is this a way for students to reflect on what they learned, but it is also instant feedback for you on how the lesson went, including many social-emotional factors, such as "Today in class, I felt I was treated kindly by my teacher."
Reflecting on the Data
As with any Google product, it is fabulous that you can watch student responses to this Exit Ticket in 'live time.' If a student selects 'disagree' to "I felt I was treated kindly by my teacher," it may force you to immediately reflect on the interactions in class and how you may have handled a situation in class.
Getting a Little Technical
If you want to enhance the results in your response sheet, you can always add some formulas and color. First, insert a row below the questions and use the formula below to calculate the percentage of agree responses for each statement. [Formula: =(countif(I3:I, "Agree"))/counta(I3:I), then Format >Number > Percent}. Visually, you can also use Conditional Formatting to fill all cells with "Agree" green and "Disagree" red.
