| dc.description.abstract | Children are dying. Children are being left behind. This manuscript focuses on a global issue too often overlooked in the social studies curriculum by exploring the ugly reality of worldwide childhood exploitation and the heroic actions being taken by individuals and organizations to end this maltreatment. Beginning with a background on the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the United States’ failure to ratify the document, the manuscript sheds light on the issues of child labor, child slavery, and child trafficking through case-studies and in-depth analysis of actions being taken to end these abuses. Innovative instructional activities to engage, educate, and encourage student action about issues relating to children's human rights are provided. Examples of activities include: students grading their school’s human rights record based upon the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and a lesson about bonded labor in India culminating in the production of a student-driven wiki about worldwide child human rights violations. A third strategy requires students to evaluate underlying themes in art work drawn by former child soldiers. (Author Abstract) | en_US |
