The Rights of Youth
Through viewing photo essays, short film clips and reading the Rights of the Child, students analyze the relationships that affect a child’s ability to have access to their rights. [Relationships are presented as including friends, family, and social structures (such as government or schools).] Students reflect on which relationships affect them and which rights are connected with those relationships.
Grade 12 Science
The Science of Race
Following the fascinating trek of Dr. Spencer Wells, an explorer in residents at National Geographic, students explore the roots of ‘race’ and how that connects to information found in DNA through the Journey of Man documentary (120 min, available online or at Winnipeg Public Library). They explore the impacts of this new understanding of the origins and journey of race and how that could potentially change discrimination and racism.
Grade 12 Social Studies
Cross Cultural Interactions and Human Rights
Students deepen their understanding of the term ‘culture’ and identify some aspects that make up a persons’ culture through exploring multiple books displaying people living their life around the world. Students will examine how culture has been repressed or eliminated in a current or historical situation.
