Amnesty International is a global movement of people fighting injustice and promoting human rights (http://www.amnestyusa.org/our-work). This website offers lesson plans that have been carefully planned by professionals. It also offers Film Curriculum Guides and Teaching Guides for Educators.

There seems to be a wide variety of lesson plans on many issues dealing with human rights and for many different levels of students. I don't know whether these lesson plans could be used as presented, but they appear to provide at least a blueprint for a lesson plan. I also like the references given in the lesson plan, and the plans are easily downloaded.

I had a look at this site after seeing it recommended here on Diigo (thanks!) and it seems to have a lot of potential.  I agree with Richard that teachers would probably need to adapt some of the activities. There are some nice materials though and the 'Rights & Responsibilities' and 'The Right to an Education' are a nice lead-in to the topic of human right as they use the familiar topic of school to get students thinking.

Human Rights Humane Education Activities feature lesson plans & activities that explore issues related to the rights of all humans of all ages and types.

My topic is Violation of Human Rights in Peru (1980-2000). I found this lesson plan from a project in Austrailia. I would change this lesson plan slightly. Instead of people in" another country" I would ask my students instead to talk about Peruvian Andean people.

A lesson plan with the activities and audio about the refugees. It has variety of activities, there's also a downloadable audio and a text of the article. It can be used to compare the words "imigrant" and "refugee" and to talk about the problems of these groups.

This is a ready-made lesson by Sean Banville about International Mine Day. It is quite accessible and there are different ways to use the material. I liked it because in addition to the reading / speaking / vocab activities it comes with an MP3 recording. Lots of potential!

This is a very useful website to create your own puzzles. They can help us spice up our lessons.

Great resource to develop PBL projects expanding the learning process outside the classroom. It covers 5 topics: environment, poverty, discrimination, children's rights to education and health, and law and justice

Good selection of topics related to the freedom of speech, which is an always controversial subject, furthermore is a nationwide issue in my country

No, I wouldn't use this lesson plan for my students. But, a similar one would be effective using vocab of musical terms in a crazy word block like the one Mr. Men uses. :)

This is actually a very well known site, but the reason why I chose it is mainly because of the video. Right now I'm having some lessons concerning our community and it's problems. So I'm using the video to establish a discussion about what people think about the "power of one" so far in our discussions we have talked only about the problems society has, but we haven't considered talking about the solutions...and this could be a really good way to introduce them to my class.

"This lesson foster students to analyze technological innovations, scientific discoveries, and environmental crises from a human rights perspective. "

There is a lot of information here about what this organization does, the results, a lot of articles and videos. A good source to find materials for the lesson about human rights.

It's a very useful site both fir teachers and students. If you're a student you can improve your grammar and build up vocabulary. Teachers can find lesson plans and different material to be used in classes. I find especially useful material on Reading Comprehension skills (http://esl.about.com/od/englishreadingskills/English_Reading_Comprehension_Skills_for_ESL_EFL_Learners.htm)
