Introduction

Part of the British Values Series. This lesson focuses upon Individual Liberty and explores the Declaration of Human Rights. Children will complete a 'diamond 9' activity and then will respond creatively to one of the rights within the convention.

Instructions

We have designed our British Values lessons so that teachers can pick up and teach a topic to their class with confidence.
We have chosen to use a balance of interactive tools and 'unplugged' creative activities.

Lessons can be taught directly from the LessonUp slides but work best when children have access to the pupil app
Lessonup.app

If you have any questions or want to know more, please do get in touch. We'd love to show you how LessonUp can make 'Every Class Better Than The Last'

Upper KS2: Human Rights
British Values Individual Liberty

Slide 1 - Slide

This lesson can be used as part of a school's British Values curriculum.
It also links into the PSHE Association Programme of Study for KS2:
L1. to recognise reasons for rules and laws; consequences of not adhering to rules
and laws
L2. to recognise there are human rights, that are there to protect everyone
L3. about the relationship between rights and responsibilities
L4. the importance of having compassion towards others; shared responsibilities
we all have for caring for other people and living things; how to show care and
concern for others
L5. ways of carrying out shared responsibilities for protecting the environment
in school and at home; how everyday choices can affect the environment (e.g.
reducing, reusing, recycling; food choices)
In this lesson, we will:
  • Look at the Declaration
     of Human Rights
  • Consider the value of
     some of these rights
  • Justify our opinions
     through a debate

Slide 2 - Slide

It might be useful to remind children about the Declaration of Human Rights at this point.
The image is Eleanor Roosevelt, the first chairperson of the Commission for Human Rights.
There is some background reading on this inspirational woman here.

What is Individual Liberty?

Slide 4 - Mind map

This mindmap will enable teachers to gather information about pupil understanding and to support children who may have misconceptions.
LessonUp allows you to move around responses so that you can sort them, if you wish. It also allows you to put inappropriate responses into the bin.

Slide 5 - Video

Allow the children to watch this video. They may wish to take notes about the different rights which are discussed within the video clip.

This is an interactive slide. You may wish to add in questions.
A video to show you how to do this can be found here.
Sort the Rights into a Diamond 9

Slide 6 - Drag question

There is no right or wrong answer to this activity. Children should decide where they wish to place their 'right' and be able to justify why.
For info:
A= right to an education
B= A right to an opinion
C= the right to a job
D= the right to be protected from slavery
E= the right to a nationality
F= the right to protest peacefully
G= the right to be protected in old age
H= the right to freedom
I = the right to vote

Choose one of the rights and create a picture
 to illustrate what this means to you. 

Slide 7 - Open question

This activity can be as open ended as you wish. It is there to enable pupils to respond to one of the rights which resonates with them.
They may wish to respond by drawing, painting or collage.
Alternatively, you may want a written response.
It might be interesting to ask them to write a rap or a song to perform too.

I can talk about some of the rights we all have
😒🙁😐🙂😃

Slide 8 - Poll

This poll can give you a quick snapshot of the class and an insight into who may need to explore the issue in more detail. The results will be displayed anonymously but you can look into how each child has answered the poll in the assessment view.

There is a how to guide here.


Aardappeloproer
1917



Enkele Amsterdamse vrouwen zagen dat er een schip vol aardappelen in een van de grachten lag. Ze gingen erop af en plunderden het schip: hun schorten vol aardappelen. De dag erna waren er meer plunderaars. Pas nadat zes mensen door het leger werden doodgeschoten, keerde de rust terug
