Summative Assessment Guidelines: As we begin to wrap up our unit on Human Rights, students should continue gathering pictures for their Human Rights Collage (their summative assessment). Students have created a list {below} of human rights (taken from the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights) that they have prioritized as THE most important rights (from a list of 30).

**What are basic human rights**? Students will need to create a collage that has pictures of the following:
 * Clean water
 * Food
 * Shelter
 * Healthcare
 * Education
 * To be free (no slavery)
 * To be able to leave your country if you don't feel safe
 * To feel safe (no bullying from people or country/government)
 * To marry if and who you choose to
 * Not to be discriminated against based on gender, color, language, religion, $, etc...

*For a complete list, Google: United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights


 * Pictures can be drawn, cut from a magazine, or printed from the computer
 * Students are encouraged to write brief statements or captions for their pictures
 * Collages should be created on poster size boards and should illustrate human rights as well as address the following **lines of inquiry**:
 * **What can be done to protect human rights**? -Pictures of what __ACTIONS__ (ex: protests) that protect peoples' rights.
 * **How do we show compassion and tolerance?** -Pictures of people showing compassion & tolerance.
 * **What organizations and agencies work to protect peoples' rights**?

As this is a summative assessment, I'd like to ask that your main role be that of a support---to help provide materials (magazines, poster board, and access to a computer to find pictures) so students can show me what they have learned from this unit.
