Our class loves to write to the outside world. We also like expressing our feelings about this issue. Thanks for helping us learn about our future in the world. My elementary age students use the Urgent Action alerts to discuss situations in the world. We then compare violations with the U.N.'s Declaration of Human Rights to see under what sections the violations have happened.
Students then send letters to government officials.
It is something they can do in a world where they often feel helpless. Several students write for each UA that I receive.
