Human Rights Inquiry Project

Human Rights Inquiry Project

You have worked very hard to create a human rights inquiry project.  I am really impressed with the variety of topics and the depth of your thinking.  This project is worth quite a few marks and I am proud of all your hard work! 

For Monday, please have all your notes ready to hand in to me. 

You will present in small groups of 4 students and one teacher on Monday. Part of your mark will be for the presentation so please practice this weekend.  I want to hear you speak clearly, slowly and without hesitation.  Your classmates and teacher will ask  you questions, so be ready!
