This volatile event presents a fine opportunity to examine the options, choices, actions and consequences of the four main players in this pivotal event. The activity offers a virtual reality-like experience where the viewer play the part of a reporter and is assigned the job of writing an editorial, much like a MEAP question.
The learner will be able to: identify one or more aspects in life, school and community that illustrate fairness and freedom; interpret the meaning of at least two specific rights and the principles that distinguish those rights, cite relevant instances supporting that interpretation, explain at least two responsibilities of good citizenship with valid support.
