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.

Free English grammar and vocabulary worksheets and printable handouts, for English language and English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers and instructors to use in the classroom or other teaching environment.

Violence and abuse inflicted on women by men is not treated with the same seriousness accorded to a human rights violation, or torture, or terrorism, or a war crime, or a crime against humanity, or an atrocity, despite resembling each of these things closely at least and precisely at most. Press Releases is a task that be used with this article. The article is presented to students and they have to research on a woman that has suffered abuse and violence during the terrorists attacks of Shining Path and MRTA. Students have to write a press release about their findings This will provide reflection and publicity! .

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

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 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.

"The goal of the project is to help human rights practitioners be more effective in advancing human rights. The organisers believe that by connecting innovative practitioners and sharing new approaches and skills involved in tactical thinking, the human rights community will have greater tactical flexibility and ultimately be more effective in human rights work."

Racism is the belief that characteristics and abilities can be attributed to people simply on the basis of their race and that some racial groups are superior to others. Racism and discrimination have been used as powerful weapons encouraging fear or hatred of others in times of conflict and war, and even during economic downturns. I have chose this site because it shows racism in many countries not only in one region

There are ten cartoon which explain the children's rights. They are for both children and adults. With its captivating images and cross-cultural appeal, animation is the perfect tool for informing children about their rights and society about its obligations. It's a good way to encourage a discussion about children's rights in particular and the Human rights in general.

Spanish is the second most-common language in the United States after English. There are more Spanish speakers in the U.S. than there are speakers of Chinese, French, Italian, Hawaiian, and the Native American languages combined. According to the 2009 American Community Survey conducted by the United States Census Bureau, Spanish is the primary language spoken at home by over 35.5 million people aged 5 or older. There are 45 million Hispanics who speak Spanish as a first or second language and there are 6 million Spanish students, making it the world's second-largest Spanish-speaking community, only after Mexico and ahead of Spain, Colombia and Argentina. Roughly half of all U.S. Spanish speakers also speak English "very well", based on the self-assessment Census question respondents.

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)

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission was set up in Peru in order to investigate and present a report of what had happened in Peru as a consequence of the action of the Shining Path. The aim of the final report is that we should not forget our history so that we do not repeat it. The video shows an exhibit of photos and a survivor who speaks to the audience in Quechua.

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.

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.

World Wide Web has evolved so fast that there seems to be some confusion about its evolution, and eras of its development. A consensus has again evolved which has divided the development of the World Wide Web into three eras which are known as Web 1.0, Web 2.0 and Web 3.
