Step by step

Find out which topics you want to emphasize and you want the students to think about. Make a dartboard and divide it into as many sections as fits the number of topics you have in mind.  The number of rings (here we have four for every topic) can vary. Be aware of the fact that if you use odd numbers it is likely that you will get many answers in the ring in the middle.

When you have completed the dartboard you give every student one sheet where she/he answers. Assemble sheets from all the   students. Take an empty dartboard and move all the answers to this one sheet, one dot for every answer in the correct box.

One big dartboard could also be used, then all the students make their mark on the same dartboard. This could lead to that the answers of other students influence the answer of the ones who follow.

When you have the results they could be discussed with the students, and if there are any problems you can try to find a solution.

Repetition of the dartboard-evluation could be useful after some time.
