Story of Our Rights and Freedoms - An Introductory Exploration

In this Tuning In lesson, students will be introduced to the concepts of rights and freedoms. They will consider their own views on a set of statements about rights and freedoms then demonstrate and share their opinions in a class opinion continuum. 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.

Essential question:

• What are human rights?
