Introduction to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Many people don't realize that all people on the planet are entitled to certain inalienable rights. Scholars discuss the subject with the first of four lessons in the Introduction to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights series. Partners use a think-pair-share to analyze how the topic applies to their own lives. Learners also make lists of people who do not enjoy basic human rights.
