DAY ONE:

1. Redistribute the Human Rights folders you stored after the first segment. Review the UDHR with a reflection question relating the UDHR to your most recent unit.
2. Have the class read the article, A Short History of Human Rights. I prepared an Anticipation Guide for this purpose and have attached it here. The Anticipation Guide is a Forget reading strategy used to preview the students' knowledge of the subject matter, to guide and monitor the students reading of the article in class and to open discussion of the article after it is read. Read and discuss the article.
3. For homework have the students write a three-paragraph reflection essay on the reading, the discussion and a reason why their country would go to war over a human rights issue.

DAY TWO:

1. Give the class an open book and open notes quiz on the Articles of the UDHR, on the reading from yesterday, including details and procedures of the UN and on some of the presentations from the first segment. Put particular emphasis on the proposed peacekeeping purpose of the UN and the UDHR.
2. Distribute the outline and instructions for the second Human Rights term paper. This paper will address one of the several issues to be presented to the UN council in the final exposition. Students should be assigned a partner. The paper will be researched in pairs and each student is responsible for a separate paper, so the issue should be presented in at least two parts. These teams will work together for the rest of the Human Rights unit. The team will be responsible for researching and presenting a proposal to the relevant UN body about a Human Rights issue relevant to global cooperation and peace. Again the term paper should be written in several drafts throughout the next few units and will be turned into the UN two weeks before the Mock Session (Third Segment).
3. For homework on this day distribute a collection of four reflective quotes and ask the students to: a) review and translate two into their own words and b) give their opinion of the quote. The quotes I used are attached. I tried to pull together some thoughts we'd been exploring§what kinds of rights are inalienable, what is the US position in the designing of a statement of human rights and what can the rest of the world do if a nation is violating someone's human rights?
