Unit Overview
Since the Holocaust, human rights violations have generated worldwide attention and concern. The United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights has provided a set of principles to guide efforts to protect threatened groups and has served as a lens through which historical occurrences of oppression can be evaluated.
Unit G2.10 Outline
3 Subunits
This unit does not currently have a intro or vocab set up.
Through these resources, students will examine the policy of apartheid in South Africa and the growth of the anti-Apartheid movements, and explore Nelson Mandela’s role in these movements and in the post-Apartheid period.
Through these resources, students will learn about the historical context for the creation of the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, and international organizations who address human rights violations. Students will study several human rights violations and the actions or inaction taken to address them.
Our units are developed through a backwards design process in which we start with the summative assessments and then create resources and formative assessments based on the content and skills students will need to be successful (See Understanding by Design by Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe). We encourage teachers to start their planning by looking first at the end of unit assessments and then at specific resources.
