For the second part of my assessment, I will use pictures labeled with different topics of interest for the students.  I will go through each picture briefly, explaining what they are. Then, I will put each image in different corners of the classroom. The T will call out two topics at the time and ask the students to go to the topic they find more interesting to learn about. The teacher will also mention that not all students have to choose a theme - those students who do not see the choices given interesting enough will stand still until they decide to select a topic they like. The teacher will record the number of students per theme chosen.  As a class, we will put all the pictures in order of importance and leave it somewhere in the classroom as a visual tool as a reminder of our current learning.
