For the past five weeks, Adam's grade 10 class has been examining human rights. Specifically they have been looking at human rights in WWII. In addition to studying case studies in class, each student was assigned an independent research project about a human rights case after WWII.
Instead of having students sit down to take a test to see if they had memorized the information, Adam and his teaching team asked students to reflect on what they had learned. Each student was asked to choose a medium of their choice and use that medium to express their reaction towards the information that they had learned.
Last week the students gathered to present their reaction pieces. As far as we know, this was the first ever human rights exhibition ever hosted by the school. The work that students created was incredibly impressive and showcased a wide variety of talent. It is amazing what young people can create when given some freedom.
Below is a sampling of some of the work that was displayed.
