We will be doing a research project on children's rights and obligations.

rights and to study it in depth. Some of the topics, which are possible,
are:
 Child labor
 Child abuse
 Neglect of children
 Child exploitation
 Violence toward children
 Children in war torn countries
 Children and malnutrition
 Violent children
 Pupil's rights
 Children's obligations
 Korczak's impact on children's rights
In class, we will explore different aspects of children's rights and
obligations today. We will also look back in history to see how children
were treated and viewed in the past . We will read articles on different
issues that deal with children and their lack of rights.
