A fully-resourced, 8 week scheme of work based on the collection of short stories by Amnesty International: Free? Stories Celebrating Human Rights.
This scheme was designed as a unit for the IB MYP, but it is very easily adaptable to be used in any KS3 classroom or any other English curriculum.
The scheme includes a 78-slide PowerPoint presentation, plus additional documents and resources including worksheets for videos, planning for the final assessment and more.
The unit introduces students to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights before exploring all 14 stories in the collection, looking at aspects of context, character and theme, and applying the statement of inquiry. There are a range of tasks including comprehension, inference and analysis. The writing focus of the unit is persuasive writing. Students are guided through a formal letter writing task before the unit culminates in the writing and delivery of a persuasive speech, focusing on one of the human rights issues from the story collection.
