Human rights
£14.95
Through drama, we can explore every facet of life – its rights and wrongs, ups and downs, and the moral and philosophical debates we encounter. We explore so many issues in isolation, but through this topic I aim to bring a number of them together under the umbrella term of ‘human rights’ and explore them through the techniques of drama.
The stimulus pieces are presented in the form of pre-prepared PowerPoint presentations which will guide the students through each lesson. While this is published as an upper KS3 scheme, it could also readily be adapted and used as a GCSE scheme. The objectives are numbered according to the Year 9 framework from the ‘Drama Objectives Bank’.
