Understanding and Respecting Human Rights: We are all born free - Amnesty

We are All Born Free (Hardback)


Text: We are all born free- Amnesty
Lesson plan by Andrew Moffat
Resources: copies of the 30 articles in the declaration. Enough copies for every child.
SEAL Outcomes: New beginnings: / I know I am valued at school I understand my rights and responsibilities at school
LI: To understand and respect human rights
Starter: What is the declaration of human rights? Why was it written? What is happening around the world to make people want to invent a universal declaration of human rights?
Main : Read text.
Activity: The declaration is split in to sections; split children in to groups of four and given them copies of the 30 articles. Ask children to consider which of the 30 are most important and to label them 1-10 in order of importance. Glue on to a sheet and present to the class with explanations. As children are presenting ask a child to count scores for each article mentioned. At the end present a class result – were any missed out completely? Why do you think that is? Was there a clear winner? Why? Does anyone want to change their mind?
Plenary: In our activity I forced you to discard a large chunk of declarations but in truth every one of them is important- why? Take the ones that got no points and ask children to say why we need them in the declaration.
Children to pick three of the declarations that got least class points and record in books why they are important.
AFL questions: What have we learned about today? / Pick any article you think is very important and write an explanation in your book and an example of one way this article affects you.
