  2. Images to make you stop and think • Captioning Think up a title for each image or an appropriate sentence. • Speech bubbles Put yourself into 'the shoes' of people in the picture. Imagine what they are saying to each other. Use clues from the picture to help imagine their conversation • Barrier activities Use a barrier between you and another learner. One person can see the picture. They describe the picture to the partner. They then draw the picture according to the description. Compare the pictures. • False/true Students write true or false questions about a picture. The partner identifies the statements as either true or false. • T-bar chart Draw a T-bar chart to show similarities and differences. All the pictures: what is each designed to achieve?

  3. Animal and Human Rights Comparison • Fill in a Rights Venn Diagram as fully as you can. • What rights do animals have in common with human? • What rights do humans have that animals do not? • What rights do animals have that humans do not?

  4. Universal Declaration of Animal Rights • Create a comparison-contrast chart to show the similarities and differences between animal rights and human rights. (Look at the Declarations to help you).

  5. Earthlings • Watch the first 7 minutes of Earthlings to show more similarities and differences between animal rights and human rights.

  6. Investigation: Animal Rights Detective • Your job as an animal rights detective is to uncover two cases of abuse or denial of animal rights and report back to the Chief of Detectives. • You may work with one other detective to complete your report, or independently.

  8. Animal Rights Poster • Choose one aspect of animal rights that you think is very important and make an A4 poster to show why you think it is important. Include 3 suggestions of how you might protect that right (without breaking the law). • Possible aspects: Factory farming Circus & aquarium show animals Zoo animals Stray animals Endangered species protection Vegetarianism Pet abuse Human Rights & Animals Rights

  10. Crime Scene • What has happened and who is involved? • Find out: • Who are the victims? • Where did the incidents occur? Include a diagram of the location. • What happened to them, what were they doing, where, when? • Why were they able to be victimised in this way? • Who is guilty or accused? • Were the perpetrators accused of breaking the law? If not, why not? • Why did they do what they did? • What rights have been violated?

  11. Action Plan How can we help? • Suggest 3 things that could be done (without breaking the law) to stop such incidents occurring in the future. • You may want to draw some ideas from the following resources: http://www.safe.org.nz/Get-Active/ http://unitedforpeace.org/2005/01/30/198-methods-of-nonviolent-protest-persuasion/ • Choose your best idea, and give 3 reasons why it is the best action to take. Prepare a sample of your action.

  12. Witness Report • What organisations are involved in fighting this kind of abuse, neglect or exploitation? • Who are they and what do they do? • What are their reasons for getting involved?

  13. Prepare your final report for the Chief of Detectives Your final report must contain: • Animal rights poster • Crime Scene Report for both cases (who, when, what, where, how, why). • Your Action Plans (what could you do and what would you do) • Witness Report
