Legal Personhood Resources

Created by Voiceless, the animal protection institute, Animal Protection Education (APE) provides students and teachers with the information they need to understand and discuss the concept of granting legal personhood status to animals.

With all the resources linked to the Australian Curriculum, teachers from a range of subjects are able to educate high school students from Years 7-10. APEs are designed to promote critical thinking through scientifically backed research coupled with a variety of classroom activities.

Accompanying resources include:

• Lesson plans for Geography, English and Civics and Citizenship subjects;
• Infographic;
• Worksheets with accompanying activities;
• Video with worksheet;
• Podcast with worksheet;
• Quizlet
