Resource of the Month

Interactive: Rights Around the World

How do you use this resource in the classroom?

Rights Around the World allowed my students to gain a deeper understanding of the rights we enjoy in America by viewing them through a global lens. They were also able to compare the ideals some nations claim versus the realities of life in authoritarian countries. This resource deeply engaged my students and provided many of us with excellent topics for discussion.
