More about the Rights and Responsibilities Lesson Plans
As part of the Personal Well-being programme of study, it is important that young people learn how to become responsible citizens and how to make a positive contribution to society. In this series of four rights and responsibilities teaching resources we uncover the basics of human rights.
Lesson 1 – Introduction to rights and responsibilities
The first lesson in this series is broken down into 3 student activities, firstly establishing their current understanding of their rights, followed by a worksheet activity and finally a presentation of their observations.
Lesson 2 – The History of Rights
It is important to understand how human rights came about and what groups were fighting for in order to establish rights. This class discussion helps to clarify issues and the following group activity will demonstrate the learning on this subject so far.
Lesson 3 – A World Without Rights
A series of activities that delve deeper into the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Human Rights Bill of 1998 and the American Bill of Rights. With a greater understanding, students now explore different scenarios without rights?
Lesson 4 – When Rights Conflict
