Civil & Human Rights IDU: DAY TWO

4/6/2018

 
Day two happened at our school. We started off the day with a group activity, where Tim McMahon used Facing History'sLittle Things are Big activity. Students all started off by lying down on the floor, and were asked to imagine themselves in the position of Jesús Colón. This wrapped up by having students think about their individual roles in society and how to be an upstander. You can read the full story and questions here or you can watch a video version here.

Students then split into three groups and rotated through different workshops:
  • Theatre: Newspaper Theatre (Boal - Theatre of the Oppressed)
  • Languages and Literature: They started off as one group, then broke up into different groups. They looked at This is America, The Revolution will not be Televised,  images of a protester in Venezuela on fire and Rape Poem to End all Rape Poems 
  • My workshop was a little bit more about the task and Pechu Kuchas!

My workshop had students look at a couple of Human Rights and Amnesty International Videos, (we also added one, by request, about the Rights of the Child). Students then watched my, rather dry, attempt at a 10x15 pecha kucha, explaining the IDU. They then watched a few proper examples.
At the end of the session students let me know who they wanted to work with. Groups had to be made of three or four students, but they could choose who they wanted to work with (this worked really well, and students fed back to us that they liked this). 
After lunch students were split into five different rooms, and had time to decide on their topic and start researching!
