Story of Our Rights and Freedoms - Tuning In and Understanding Concepts

In this Tuning In lesson, students will be introduced to the concept of rights and freedoms. They will critically consider the supporting and opposing viewpoint on a set of provocations related to rights and freedoms. Students will use the ‘Think-Pair-Share’ visible thinking routine to explore their prior knowledge of rights and freedoms, then watch a short overview video. The class will then work together to consider what else they would like to know about rights and freedoms. Students will work independently to research a chosen question, then share what they have discovered in a facilitated class discussion.
