  1. UDHR 8 • Summarizing Complex Ideas • Comparing the Original UDHR and the “Plain Language” Version

  2. Learning Targets • I can explain why certain words in the original UDHR are repeated. • I can compare the original UDHR, the Plain Language Version, and my own summaries of specific UDHR articles by focusing on specific word choice. • I can skim and scan the original UDHR looking for repeated words.

  3. Close Readers Do These Things • Read the text slowly at least twice. • Circle words you aren’t sure of and try to figure them out. • Reread, annotate, and underline key vocabulary. • Talk to each other about what you think it means. • Read to summarize or answer specific questions.

  4. During most of this unit, we have been reading very slowly, closely, and deliberately, taking time to try to understand every single word. Today, we are going to do something else: ‘skim and scan.’

  5. What was the purpose of including these words and phrases and repeating them so often?

  6. universal

  7. universal

  8. Compare the original and the “plain language versions of the UDHR: What words are the same? What words are different?

  9. Do you think this Plain Language Version is better or worse than the original? Why?

  10. What is gained in the Plain Language Version? In other words, how is it better?

  11. What is lost in the Plain Language Version? In other words, how is it worse?

  12. Get out your note catcher and revise your summary of an article or add key words

  13. What is gained in the Plain Language Version of the UDHR? What is lost?

  14. When children are born, they are free and each should be treated in the same way. They have reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a friendly manner.

  15. Everyone can claim the following rights, despite: • a different sex • a different skin color • speaking a different language • thinking different things • believing in another religion • owning more or less • being born in another social group coming from another country Text It also makes no difference whether the country you live in is independent or not.

  16. You have the right to live, and to live in freedom and safety.

  17. You should be legally protected in the same way everywhere, and like everyone else.

  18. If someone hurts you, you have the right to go to another country and ask it to protect you. You lose this right if you have killed someone and if you, yourself, do not respect what is written here.

  19. As soon as a person is legally entitled, he or she has the right to marry and have a family. In doing this, neither the color of your skin, the country you come from nor your religion should be impediments. Men and women have the same rights when they are married and also when they are separated. Nobody should force a person to marry. The government of your country should protect you and the members of your family.

  20. You have the right to own things and nobody has the right to take these from you without a good reason.

  21. You have the right to organize peaceful meetings or to take part in meetings in a peaceful way.It is wrong to force someone to belong to a group.

  22. You have the right to work, to be free to choose your work, to get a salary which allows you to support your family. If a man and a woman do the same work, they should get the same pay. All people who work have the right to join together to defend their interests.

  23. Text You have the right to have whatever you need so that you and your family: do not fall ill; do not go hungry; have clothes and a house; and are helped if you are out of work, if you are ill, if youare old, if your wife or husband is dead, or if you do not earn a living for any other reason you cannot help. Both a mother who is going to have a baby and her baby should get special help.All children have the same rights, whether or not the mother is married.

  24. You have the right to go to school and everyone should go to school. Primary schooling should be free. You should be able to learn a profession or continue your studies as far as you wish. At school, you should be able to develop all your talents and you should be taught to get on with others, whatever their race, their religion or the country they come from. Your parents have the right to choose how and what you will be taught at school.

  25. Learning Targets • I can follow our class norms when I participate in a discussion. • I can summarize Articles 2 and 3 of the UDHR. • I can use context clues to help me determine the meaning of words. • I can visualize what the authors of the UDHR wanted for all people
