This resource works around a Charter of Basic Rights which has been developed by Oxfam. Other organisations have undertaken similar exercises which teachers may also want to incorporate into their classroom work. It is suggested that teachers start with Unit 1 which gives an introduction to rights issues. Each of the other Units is designed so that it can be taught in a modular way, as part of a PSE programme at Key Stage 3. The Units are designed to be accessible to different ability levels.
Some activities involve little or no reading skills.
Others extend pupils with more developed skills. Exact timings for activities are not included as trialling suggests that these can vary widely. As a broad guide, most single activities can be completed within 30 minutes.
