HMD08 KS4/Age 14-16 Lesson Plan

HMD08 KS4/Age 14-16 Lesson Plan

Aim: To focus on the rights we take for granted in modern society

To discover how the rights of Holocaust victims were systematically taken away.

To consider what responsibilities should be placed on us as human beings

Starter: Suggest that students work in groups of four. Each group is given twenty “rights” cards, four blank cards and a diamond template (you can find these at the end of this lesson plan).

Groups should discuss the rights on the cards and attempt to rank them in “essential” order on the diamond template with the most basic right at the top of the diamond. If the group feels that the rights on the cards are not the most important or that something is missing then they may write the missing right on a blank card but they cannot invent more than four new rights. The group should be
prepared to give reasons for the rights they have chosen.
