Lesson 3
Where do my rights come from? |
What do we already know?
With your group, on post-its, write down the things that you already know about rights and stick them on to your concept maps.
We will categorize what the children have written down and as a class will address the ideas written.
We will clarify any unsure information by groups researching the interactive Declaration on the UN website found here.
