Human Rights: Task Cards, Reading, Worksheet (CCSS Aligned!)

Bring Human Rights to your students in an engaging way!

Students read about the history of human rights along with an abridged list of human rights set forth by the United Nations (primary source!). Students utilize graphic organizers to sort out their knowledge of human rights. Once they are familiar with them, students use their primary source document to decipher why certain task cards violate or support human rights.
