Shout out to @DLim73 for adding some cheer to teaching in December during a pandemic. She goes out of her way to make sure her teachers know they are valued. We appreciate you Ms. Lim!

Ss analyzed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948, UN) They paraphrased assigned articles into student friendly terms, made connections to historical/current events, and defended the importance of each article. Each group presented their interpretations and connections.
