Stand up for your rights!

Welcome back!

I hope you are ready for a new project? Before you move on I want you to spend a minute or two thinking of a person who fights for something. Is it a famous person? Is it your grandfather? Is it your cousin or perhaps your teacher? It doesn't matter who it is - the important thing is what that person means to you and what he or she is fighting for.

Write a blog comment  and motivate why you have chosen him or her. One or two sentences are enough.

Finished?

We will start working with one of the greatest men in the world. He passed away just a while ago. Can you guess who it is?
Watch the video below. While you are watching I want you to turn everything else off. No music, no games. Just watch and listen. If you don't understand - pause - rewind and listen again. Look up words you don't understand. Ok?





One man - One vote. Important words to think of. Especially this year.
We will discuss why in class. We will also talk about these questions:

You don't have to work with the questions in advance.

During the project are we going to work in groups. You are going to give each other feed back. I also want you to help and support each other. Here are the groups:
