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.

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.

Film English is the brainchild of teacher, trainer and author Kieran Donaghy ( Kieran's LinkedIn profile). Kieran teaches at UAB Idiomes Barcelona, part of the Univiersitat Autònoma de Barcelona. The site promotes the innovative and creative use of film in English language teaching and learning. All of the lesson plans revolve around the use of video and film to teach English. The site promotes cineliteracy, the ability to analyse moving images, and considers cineliteracy as a 21st century skill which our students need to learn. In addition, the lessons promote critical thinking in the language classroom, and  encourage learners to reflect on values while learning a  language.
