A New Planet

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Students, in gorups, develop a Bill of rRghts for a newly discovered planet. They give the planet a name and they decide upon ten human rights they think are the most important. Then they compare their list with the lists of other groups to decide on the most important ones. They compare their lists to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
