CPWC Day 10 - Exploring Human Rights

IMPORTANT:  If you are absent from class, you need to come in during period 12 to complete the pre-test.  However, you can access the video ("The Story of Human Rights") from the "Youth for Human Rights" app.  All "worksheets" are available on Schoology in the Human Rights folder.

Objective:  Define "human rights" as presented in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).  Explore human rights in the contemporary world.

Task:  Good morning!  When you arrive to class, please clear your desks.  We'll begin with a short assessment to see how much you know about human rights - "What Are Our Human Rights?"  This is NOT a graded assignment but please do your best!  If you finish early, please work on your unit 2 homework.

After everyone finishes the knowledge check, you'll watch and take notes on a short video about human rights.  Finally, we'll finish class by reading a statement from Eleanor Roosevelt and the Preamble to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
