Stories of Human Rights
■ For udents who may feel uncomfortable sharing their progress on meeting the learning targets publicly: Minimize risk by providing udents with a sheet of paper where they can select a color for each learning target in private. This provides useful data for future in ruction and helps udents monitor their own learning. (MME)
Work Time
A. Making Connections between the UDHR and “Las Ciruelas” (10 minutes)
■ Invite students to retrieve their simpli ed version of the UDHR.
■ Post the following question and tell students they are going to have 5 minutes to work with their partner to look over the simpli ed UDHR text and “Las Ciruelas” in Esperanza Rising and answer this question:
“Which human rights have been threatened in ‘Las Ciruelas’?”
■ Focus students on the How Were the Human Rights of the Characters in Esperanza Rising Threatened? anchor chart.
■ Tell students that when they nd instances of this, they need to record the number of the article that it goes against on a sticky note and stick it in their book to remind them.
■ Distribute sticky notes.
■ After 5 minutes, refocus whole group. Invite students to retrieve their Quoting Accurately
from the Text handout and quickly review it.
■ Cold call students to share out. Encourage them to provide accurate quotes from the text, and mark those quotes using quotation marks. As students share out, capture their responses on the anchor chart. Refer to How Were the Human Rights of the Characters in Esperanza Rising Threatened? anchor chart (example, for teacher reference) as necessary.
Meeting Students’ Needs
■ For ELLs and udents who may need additional support with reading: Consider minimizing the complexity of the task by marking key sections of the chapter and asking udents why these sections illu rate threats to human rights. (MMR, MMAE)
