Lesson Plans for classroom usage.

These are organized lesson plans for teaching human rights, once again aimed to be used in classroom usage. I have read most of the activities and I found that there are plenty of good examples, disscussions and group work activities that could be implemented without big efforts.

This report covers how to begin, how to operate, and how to make e-learning successful and enjoyable. Its contents are developed over years, and is intended for current students and sharing personal experiences and exchange of ideas with other educators.

This is a collection of sites where you can research human rights from different perspectives. This group of web sites offers articles from different institutions that fight for and support human rights. These sites give you concepts of universal human rights. You will also be provided with a list of links to different organizations in which you can even find human rights areas for education, material resources and planned activities for teaching human rights.

Very up to date ready-made reading, vocabulary and speaking activities. There is lots of material in each document so you probably won't have time / want to use it all. It's best to be selective! There are sometimes typos so it's important to check beforehand but it's an excellent source.

Bulldozer Exhibition was an unofficial art exhibition of Moscow avant-garde artists on September 15, 1974. The exhibition was forcefully broken-up by a large police force that included bulldozers and water cannons. The four hours in the forest of the Izmailovo exhibition has often been remembered as "The Half-day of Freedom." It was a political act against the oppressive regime, rather than an artistic event. Teaching ideas: 1. Make a presentation about the artists participating in the exhibition. 2. Discuss the political situation in Russia of that time. 3. Talk about freedom of expression.

Anna, you might remember the Scenario type of activity you did in Integrating the Internet. I can see an interesting Scenario being written on this event. You could have them investigate this event as police officer, or write about the event as historian, or reflect on it as one of the artists who had works exhibited. http://legacy.lclark.edu/~krauss/usia/syllabus3b.html#day4 Lots of possibilities!

An uncomfortable issue nowadays is student's disruptions during the period of class. This takes place for several reasosns. But the main one is when students do not have motivation according to their interests; something to keep them awake and active in class. The site above will give you a chance to have better perspectives in acting.

Great site to know more about the beautiful places in the States.
