Activity 4 COVID & Me
Why we like it: This is a quick way to explore the idea of rights and the impacts
of COVID-19.
How long: 20 minutes
How it works:
-
- Watch the Video: COVID & Me (2:56)
In the Spring, BC’s top doctor made some difficult decisions to slow the spread of COVID-19. These decisions impacted the lives and rights of children around the world. To help inspire children going through an especially hard time, Grade 2 students from
Oaklands Elementary created a zoom video with the Representative for
Children and Youth, Dr. Jennifer Charlesworth, who is responsible for children
with special situations and needs in BC.
- As we have more experience with COVID-19 restrictions, discuss with class the
impact of COVID-19 on the children and if it has affected any children’s rights.
Reflection:
- How do children’s rights protect children in times of emergency? Which rights
can be tested?
