May+25-26+Home+Learning

Hello 4A2 young gentleman,

With the exams around the corner for you and this being the end of the second term, I thought we would look at closure for the topic on Human Rights. There's also an ACE activity for those who would like to attempt it at the end of the lesson. I hope you have a good time learning at home! Happy holidays and do remember to keep up with your readings, complete your compre homework (due first week of term 3) and submit your expository essay before school closes (for those of you who haven't). Have a meaningful and rested June break and see you in Term 3!

Regards,

Mrs Wong p/s all the best for your Chinese test and IH exam!

1. Watch the video, "The Story of Human Rights", a short and entertaining video of how HR came about followed by "Riz Khan - Human Rights" where the UNDHR and its effectiveness and relevance are discussed. The second video is alittle long but well worth watching to the end. In your same (presentation) groups as in the March home learning, discuss and answer the following questions. The leader of each group will post the completed answers together with the members' names to my ivle folder entitled, "4A2 - May 25-26 HL" by the end of Tuesday so I can check. As this is a lesson on recap, do take a while to think and consolidate your responses on the topic of HR. __Questions:__ a) What are human rights? b) Is there any specific human right(s) that would be more important than the rest? c) Which human right should be given more attention and action by the global community? Why? d) Can rights be separated from responsibilities? Why or why not? e) Which should take precedence: the individual's right or the community's? Why? f) How relevant is the UNDHR today?
