1. Students started this new sub-unit on Monday when they investigated some world issues and decided which to choose for their expository essay. Today we discussed the theme a bit more carefully and looked at a list of Universal Rights and Freedoms, as put together by the United Nations.
2. We watched a few videos created to inform people of these universal rights and then read a poem about a couple who had decided to adopt a young baby, but were negotiating which race was suitable because there were certain ones they just would not consider accepting.
3. We also read / listened to the song “Eleanor Rigby”, written by two of the Beatles, about two people who were alone in their lives and how they finally crossed paths but when it was too late to be an influence on the other. Hopefully, we all live more enriched lives since we have such opportunity and freedom in our country.

These Universal Rights Public Service Announcements are very well done – but were created by the Church of Scientology. Does that change your opinion of what you see?
