This document outlines an interdisciplinary unit on human rights that incorporates language and literature, individuals and societies, and English. The unit will have students from three subjects working towards the same inquiry statement that human rights arise from global interactions and are essential for equitable living conditions and development. Key concepts like point of view, social interactions, and arguments will be explored. Students will produce an argumentative essay and participate in a Model UN simulation debate that will be evaluated based on indicators from the different subject areas. The goal is for students to gain a broader perspective on human rights.

2. Human or Humane?
This bimester, we will be working a little bit different. We will be working along with
three subjects since we consider that each of them has different tools that can help
you to obtain a broader and better perspective of the topic of Human Rights. These
subjects are: Language and Literature, Individuals and Societies and English, this
means that, we, Miss Mayra, Miss Cinthya and Miss Yadrí will be working towards the
same inquiry statement.
We have great expectations with this unit, and we are eager to make your learning
meaningful.
