Choosing to Participate 2011

Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (combating disease, equal access to education in USA)

Hello Students and Families!  For the rest of your 8th grade year, our Choosing to Participate Project will be our major focus.  You get to particpate as a member of the global community.  Pick a human rights issue, research that issue, write a business letter to ask for change or to raise awareness and create a presentation to help your classmates and the Watertown Community understand your issue.

We are on the first step of our project, which is to brainstorm potential human rights issues. Here are some websites that your classmates found that might help you:

United Nations Refugee Issues
