Lesson plan: Design a poster for children's rights
From the Children's rights online resource
Introduction, whole-class and group activity:
Ask the pupils why they think some countries have not signed up
for the Convention on the Rights of the
Child. Do they think it is hard for countries to stick to it?
Ask the pupils to design a poster showing the A-Z of Children's
Rights (or an A-Z frieze.) Each letter should represent one or part
of one of the articles from the UN Convention on the Rights of the
Child, or any aspect from the book For Every Child, for example:
Adults should do what is best for us
Be kind to us and help us in times of trouble
Care for us when we are sick
and so on.
The pupils can work in pairs or groups to plan the wording for
the posters. Extra time will be needed to complete the posters and
to include pictures to represent some of the points. These posters
could be used as part of an assembly.
Plenary:
Each pupil can read his or her most effective statement. Alternatively,
each pupil can read one statement, starting with A and ending with
Z.
