Human Rights Map

Group work for Bilingual Philosophy, 4th ESO - 3rd Term.
In collaboration with the Amnesty International School Net for Human Rights.
Our task was making a map of the World and marking on it some places where Human Rights are being violated.

1. Documentation
We used the A.I. Magazine. Some of the news needed update because we keep issues in the school library from the last three years, so we consulted the School Net’s website.

2. Making decisions
Each one of us chose a country and a situation of risk for people and their rights. We decided to make our map with shredded newspapers to show our concern about press freedom all over the world.

3. Writing our texts
We wrote short summaries of the situations we had previously investigated. We tried to keep our expression simple, so we could write in English instead of translating from Galician.
Amy Lavender, our conversation assistant, helped us all the time. Thank you, Amy, you’re always with us!
