On the first slip: what they worked on today, one sentence they are proud of, copied out, and a next step. It has seven lines in all.
Is there a peer feedback slip?
Yes. "Peer feedback exit ticket for a writing partner" has Writer and Reader lines, two lines for a part that worked and two for a part the reader had a question about.
Do the slips have printed prompts?
Three do: "A place I know by its sounds," "The oldest thing in my room" and "How to play a game I like, for a beginner." The other slips ask about the student's own piece.

Four on most sheets, two across and two down, with dashed lines to cut along. One short slip prints six, and the sample is one full page.
