Developing Rights

Teaching Rights and Responsibilites for Ages 11-14

Secondary, Elementary, Middle

Description

Developing Rights seeks to assist young students in examining human rights, first in their own lives, and then by making extensions into other social contexts found worldwide. Some of the issues include bullying, violence and disability.

Six separate units are linked to different rights issues, and include activities and worksheets, making curriculum links to several subject areas of UK middle level education. There would be little difficulty in linking units to N. American educational settings. Readings and assessment "grids" are provided for each unit as well as step-by-step instructions for teachers. The final unit suggests "actions for change."

Concrete material is offered for staff training in the area of rights issues. The material includes readings, role play scenarios and other activities related to the issues.

The book is attractively packaged containing abundant photographs and an easy-to-follow layout of readings, activities and evaluation worksheets.
