For Faculty
We encourage faculty to use this website as a supplemental resource as they explore the QCC 2014 Common Read, The Road of Lost Innocence by Somaly Mam, or as they study human rights with students.
As you can see, we have included reflection activities and vocabulary resources for students to use as they initially learn about human rights.
One way to help students to understand and reflect further on the UDHR is to conduct your class as a Socratic Seminar. Such an instructional model provides a structured discussion yet still embraces question- and problem-posing approach to explore the UDHR more deeply.
Justin Nickel provides a detailed lesson plan, assignments, and rubric to conduct a Socratic Seminar that can be adapted for your particular students. See his materials at the following link:

In addition, we encourage you to use the essays and presentations that our BE205 students created in groups to initiate conversation about specific human rights. Each page created by students includes a list of works cited , and some contain links to the articles students used so that your own students may read and research further. Another good research resource is Professor Jean Amaral's research guide, which is located on the QCC Library's page or by clicking here.
We also have links to websites that provide information about human rights organizations and human rights heroes.
Below are some human rights writing assignments you can use to promote further research by your students.
