Story of Our Rights and Freedoms - Tuning In

This Tuning In lesson introduces students to the concept of human rights. Students will watch a short video that gives an overview of human rights, then use the Seed Discussion Organiser to summarise their understanding and further queries about the topic. They will then work in groups to explore the articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). In a class discussion, students will then identify where human rights are visible in their own lives.

Essential questions:

• What are human rights?
• What rights and freedoms do we enjoy in Australia?
