7 Identifying the Problem

This activity aims for students to develop the problem-solving skill by identifying the problem, the first
step of the process, and be aware of the difficulties that socially disadvantaged groups (children, the
elderly, refugees, persons with disabilities, animals, etc.) might face.

Materials and Preparation

Print out the photos on page 65 and photocopy the word cards on 66, and cut up them for each group.

Procedure
1 Ask students a few questions to check what they know about human rights such as “What are the
three examples of human rights? What are some examples of human rights violations that you have
observed? Who are considered socially disadvantaged?”
2 Divide the class into six groups and give each group a copy of the photo and a word card related to it.
3 Explain that each group will discuss the problems shown in the photo with the group members
using the words on the cards.
4 Ask a spokesperson for each group to report on their ideas and share them with the rest of the class
at the end of the task.
5 When they have completed the task, ask the spokespersons to hang the photo on the board and
share the idea of their groups about the problem with the rest of the class.

8 Finding Solutions

This activity aims to encourage students to discuss the issues related to human rights, define the main
elements of the problem and suggest possible solutions for the given problems.

Materials and Preparation
Photocopy the worksheet on page 67 and cut it into two separate, Group A and Group B, for each group.

Procedure

1 Divide the class into groups of four and inform them that half of the groups will be the group A, and
the other half will be the group B. Hand out the ‘Group A worksheet’ to the students in group A and
the ‘Group B worksheet’ to the students in group B.
2 Explain that some of the challenges faced by specific groups (persons with disabilities and refugee
children) are listed on the worksheets.
3 Ask them to discuss and explain each problem in groups and suggest possible solutions for each of
them. Remind students to take notes on the worksheets.
4 When they have completed the task, ask groups to swap worksheets to compare notes. Remind
students to tick the statements if they have similar ideas about the topic or add a subject if they think
that something is missing.
