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.

very important and write an explanation in your book and an example of one
way this article affects you.
