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 seems to be a place to start with for high level ESL students. The site lays out a wide range of issues, there are many articles to read, and the site appears to be very user-friendly. Look at the geographical organization. One can also search by category of human rights. Perhaps as an initial exploration of the topic, students could choose an issue they found interesting and report back to their small groups what the issue is and why they chose it. This might encourage other students to become familiar with that issue.

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

If you are an ESL-EFL teacher and the topic/theme of interest is Human Rights, this website may work for you. It offers a number of activities that can be adapted to any age or level and it is updated regularly.

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.

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)

this site can be used with EFl students as it is a resourse for language learners (like graded readers).the students can use it to enhance their reading and vocabulary skills, while the teacher can set it and a reading home task

Excellent site on how to engage learners to use technology effectively

I use this page very often in order to get ideas for exercises on Grammar and Vocabulary. I find it quite useful...

If we have to look for a renowned institution in human rights around the world, there it is Amnesty International. It has been all around the world denouncing all kinds of human right violations. They are specially interested in crimes against humanity due to war, political unrest, terrorism, hunger, etc.

Hi, the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund's "mission is to advocate for the protection of children's rights." It would be very interesting to know what the United Nations is doing to protect children's rights.

Excellent site to start teaching our little children our rights as human beings. We can print out some of the exerpts they have and use them as reading exercises. Then, Have them worjk in groups, so they can act out their interpretation of the human right they read. Else, we can also follow the lesson plan they have in the site. hope it is useful.

This is a very useful list that has been divided into sections from little readers to adults. We can also find tests, grammar, vocabulary, and so on.I hope you enjoy it.

A critical participant in the effort to combat prejudice and discrimination in society is its educational institutions; not only because the attitudes and values to which young people are exposed in school influence their future conduct, but also because, although it is the implicit right of citizens to act upon their "rights," they must know what those rights are before they will be able to do so.
