Today we’ll once again be spending the period listening to a podcastAn episodic series of digital audio or video files which a user can download and listen to. It is often available for subscription, so that new episodes are automatically downloaded via web syndication to the user's own local computer, mobile application, or portable media player., that is NOT about human rights. (Wikipedia).
But, like Tuesday, human rights issues are evident in the story you’ll hear. So, you’ll once again have an opportunity to…
- Practice your active listening skills
- Apply what you know about human rights to the real world
As you listen, naturally, you’ll be doing so to understand, in depth, the story being told. But you’ll also be listening for connections to the human rights.
You’ll be working on pages 18 and 19 or notebooks, and here is what you’ll be putting on each:
