The Pack contains associated resources for the learning experience, typically in the form of articles and videos. There is a teacher Pack (with only teacher information) and a student Pack (which contains only student information). As a teacher, you can toggle between both to see everything.
Here are the teacher pack items for Human Rights and Abuses:
In this experience, students are introduced to the idea of universal human rights and learn the history and components of the 1948 United Nations declaration. In small groups, students research and report on human rights abuses in a specific country. Finally, students write a letter to a human rights organization describing the abuses they have learned about in their research.
Students will work in small groups in Scene 3 to create reports on human rights abuses in several different countries. If possible, plan enough time so that small groups can present their reports to the rest of the class.
The Teacher Pack includes several additional resources that may be useful throughout this experience.
Objectives:

In this experience you will explore what human rights are, the intent of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and examples of human rights abuses in governments around the world.
Objectives:
What did you learn from the video?
So what are some human rights? As a class, try to list as many as you can think of.
