1. The first photo should be one that demonstrates what you believe is your most cherished and natural right.
2. The second one should reflect your understanding of CITIZENSHIP.
For the first photo I chose to take a picture of my nephew of I. I believe that my most cherished and natural right is the pursuit of happiness. I believe that it is our right to be happy and to do things that make us happy. In my life, spending time with my nephew is one of the things that brings me happiness. Kayden, my nephew, is a sweet and caring little two year old boy. Whenever Kayden and I spend time together, we always have a blast with lots of smiles and laughter. I'm not sure what it would be like if I didn't have the right to do what makes me happy.
For the second photo, I chose to take a picture of a passport. I chose to take a picture of a passport because to me citizenship means that you belong to a specific country. Citizenship is the status of being a citizen, so what comes to my mind is having a passport. Your passport indicates which country you are a citizen in, so I thought a passport would explain what I understood about citizenship.
I think that the first picture helps us as future teachers better understand our students. Since it was up to us to take a photo of what we believed is our most cherished right, the teacher is able to see what is most important in our lives. The second photo helps assess our background knowledge of specific terms, such as citizenship. I think that is a great activity that students who are a little bit older could easily do.
