Review of unit 1
You need about an hour.
What have we done?
Before you leave this unit, look back over the work you have done using activity sheet 7. First, on
your own, score from 1–5 how much you feel you have learnt about each of the unit’s three aims (1
is a little and 5 is a lot). Mark in the box on the right anything more you want to do to take forward
your learning. Now come together as a group to consider what you have learnt as a group. How
are you doing together? Write in the box at the bottom what additional actions you may want to take as
a group to strengthen your understanding of any particular part of the unit.
You will have now reflected on your own personal learning and how the group is doing as a whole and what
you agree needs to happen next.
| Aim | Personal score | Group score | What do I want to do next? | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Low | High | Low | High | ||||
| Understanding each other better | 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 | 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 | |||||
| Appreciating and respecting other people | 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 | 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 | |||||
| Representing other people | 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 | 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 | |||||

A right review
Rights for us! So what?
Act by Right is rooted in the Convention on the Rights of the Child. By developing your own Act
by Right Charter, the group should increase your understanding of your rights to participate
in the issues affecting you and strengthen your arguments to be taken seriously and get
things changed. Reflect on your learning in this unit and look again at the introduction to the
Convention given in this workbook. Discuss the questions below and fill in the first box at the top
of your Act by Right Charter (blank copy downloadable from here) about what the Convention means to you.
- What does it mean to you to have human rights?
- What difference should it make to you and other children and young people?
- What difference does it actually make?
Before you move on
Before you move on here is a challenge to action. Reflecting on what you’ve learnt and the skills you’ve gained give yourself a personal challenge to complete during the week.
How about:
* Was there someone in the group who had differing opinions to you? Spend some time getting to know them and understand their way of thinking.
* Ask a parent or friend what they think about climate change.
* Find out about the priorities for tackling climate change that another group across the globe have.
