Week of June 7th, Do you want to be an activist?

Hi everyone,

This week I want you to learn about a special human rights class I teach here at Newcomers.

• Please visit the website to learn about the human rights class.
  
• When you are there, watch the videos on that website, using the links to Teacher Tube (the You tube links will be blocked). There is a video about the class, and six videos made by students in the class. All have Teacher Tube links.
• Open the book made by the students.
  
• Answer the questions below in Google Docs.

1. How do you feel about the film and book? Why?
2. Are you interested in participating in a class like this next year? Why?
3. Please type a paragraph with the sentence starter..."If I could help change a problem in society, I would change..."
   

• Finally, post your responses to our class blog as a comment.

Thank you!
