This lesson plan is designed to be used in conjunction with the beautifully illustrated picture book, I Have the Right to be a Child, which introduces the Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC ). It takes the key articles of the Convention and translates them into language children can relate to with full-page artwork, offering ways for teachers to open discussions about our ‘rights’. Topics include food and water, healthcare, housing, gender, the environment, race, education, poverty, disability, citizenship, family, war and freedom of speech.
