Space to discuss all things Shakespeare, part of BC REading group

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.

TESOL and TEwTreading. Share with class discussion.

This article presents ways to prevent violence against women in post-conflict contexts, particularly by engaging men. The acitivuty to be used is called: FISHBOWL Teacher distributes the article to be read. Teacher sets up a fishbowl by having students get into two circles, one inside the other with the students facing each other. Teacher gives students a question relating to the article to discuss for two minutes with the person they are facing. After two minutes the inside circle rotates moving one person over so each person is facing someone new. For another two minutes they can discuss another topic or the same one. The inside circle continues rotating until they are back in front of their original partner. At the end teacher asks fro volunteers to talk about their impressions on the activity.

I have chosen this page because it has an article that mentions the cultural diversity and the problems human right face because of this. i think that there is a very interesting reading about it. I think that this article could be very helpfull for a classroom discussion, or a vocabulary activity in which students could give the definition of some words chosen by the teacher.

it is rather an interesting discussion about the violation of minority rights in the former Soviet republics, that can be used in class

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!

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.
