We started our new Inquiry topic by using the Questioners Key from Thinking Keys to help us think about Children's Rights. These are some of the questions we designed.
1. Why don’t children in other countries have the right to live in peace?
2. Why don’t children in other countries have rights in the same way as we do?
3. What if children had to go to war?
4. What would happen if children didn’t have enough food?
5. How does Nelson Central School provide clean water for children?
6. How do poor children get an education in other countries?
7. Why do some children have to work when they should be going to school?
8. What might happen if children were not respected?
9. Why don’t children in other countries have clean air like us?
10. What if children didn’t have the right to clean water?
11. Why don’t children in other countries have the right to a safe and healthy shelter?
12. How does Nelson Central School help children have the right to an education?
13. Why can’t some children in other countries have the freedom to say their ideas?
We will be researching these and over questions over the next few weeks so we will show you more of our work then.

Hi Room Five!
ReplyDeleteI really like your questions, and I can't wait to read your findings. I am going to show The Wockets your questions after the holidays because we are learning about asking good questions and you have done some great thinking! I have a question for you now.
Do you think children's rights would be better taken care of if children were in charge not adults? Why?
