| Activities: |
Students bring in articles on current events. They share
their articles that relate to human rights (legal, political,
economic, social). The entire class then discusses and debates
their opinions. The teacher acts as mediator while the students
brainstorm "5W" questions from the articles. The teacher
also checks comprehension and helps students draw conclusions.
("W" words: Who, What, When, Where, Why)
