Best of all, they had to use critical thinking skills while debating one another over the summit's chosen global dilemmas. This activity and handout includes the following: 1.

This project often facilitates great class discussion regarding human rights.I recommend providing students with this article to aid them in their selection: https://newsela.com/read/primary-source-amendment-constitu
