The Task

Your Question:

How can we fashion a school culture that recognizes the inherent dignity and equal, inalienable rights of all members of our school population?

You will first become experts on the goals, structure and function of the United Nations as well as its position on human rights.  Then your class will form a similar organization with committees to set policies and norms of behavior that respect and benefit all members of your school population.  Your final plan will be presented to your School Site Council.

View the rubric to see how your collaborative project will be evaluated.

	1.3 Use clear research questions and suitable research methods (e.g., library, electronic media, personal interview) to elicit and present evidence from primary and secondary sources.
	1.5 Synthesize information from multiple sources and identify complexities and discrepancies in the information and the different perspectives found in each medium.

1.3 Choose logical patterns of organization (e.g., chronological, topical, cause and effect) to inform and to persuade, by soliciting agreement or action, or to unite audiences behind a common belief or cause.
