Recently, we have been doing “Rights Respecting Schools”, which is about the U.N.C.R.C (United Nations Convention On the Rights of the Child). We have done multiple lessons on the subject, including using posters to encourage learning you rights, making our own cartoons for these rights and even watching cartoons based on the rights . Most people enjoyed these lessons, and had plenty of fun.

A few weeks ago we were given the task to make our own posters promoting the U.N.C.R.C. They are currently on display in our classroom, as shown on this page. Each group made their own poster and they were completed within a time period of two weeks. Then, we were given homework to make our own cartoons. We could do this in multiple ways, which include: writing a “narrative description”, creating comic strips, drawing a series of wordless images or making our own animated clip.These were due in today, and most of them looked pretty good.

Three weeks before that, we had been watching cartoons and naming what articles they affirming or showing being violated.
