A Human Rights Timeline

Par 
Pegi Brown
Brève description: 

Students will use the Human Rights Commission website to research key court cases and laws that have shaped human rights in Canada from 1900 - 2000. They will select cases involving human rights violations and plot them along a timeline. Students will then compare their timeline with a timeline of human rights legislation, both global and federal, that spans the last half of the century. They will use these visual representations to better understand the interactions of change over time, and cause and consequence. They should also be encouraged to draw conclusions from these timelines regarding the impact of global events on Canadian societal values and legislation.
