This bookmark is from the website called Human Rights Watch. The education has been under attack in conflicts. The article says students, teachers and schools are often targeted and used as a war tactic because of their connection to education. The video is an example of those tragedies. A girl who just believed everybody has a right to access to education was shot. World organizations are providing information and trying to protect education. I think this article can be used as an example of why preserving education is very important in some countries. Students can read and watch the video as an example, then teacher can ask them to find other articles on the website that are related to education as a human right.

This site goes over the general facts about NSA surveillance programs. It describes the basic metadata that is collected for US phone calls:"the telephone number of the phones making and receiving the call, and how long the call lasted." It mentions the NSA program PRISM which collects emails, instant messages, and both private and public facebook data. It also mentions the program XKEYSCORE which gathers massive amounts of data from internet traffic. This FAQ also mentions what sort of things can be revealed by metadata and why critics of these programs find them alarming and illegal. This is a great article that covers the basic issues and concerns associated with NSA and mass surveillance. You could have students read it as a way to prep them for a project or discussion on this topic.

I lthink this "The Bill of Rights Lesson" would be very useful and interesting for students to learn and for a teacher to perform. The information of the lesson is quite intelligible, so it can be easily worked with. Many ways of doing it are also suggested (including reading activities, solving puzzles, bingo games, true/false exercises etc.) which make the lesson fascinating and the students more interested in the problem discussed.

English language teaching in India has for a long time treadled the traditional path of Language Teaching and Learning. The path leads us through teaching vocabulary and grammar textbooks, cramming students with a considerable amount of exercises and then evaluating their accomplishments through consecutive exams. Song have been in integral part of human life and experience since ages. They have also become an integral part of our language experience, and if use in coordination with a language lesson they can be a great value.
