Activity 25
• This type of clarification
is intended to bring out
hidden prejudices and what
might amount to common-
sense opinions, which are
unsupported. In order to do
this, your students should bear
in mind what they read about
human rights. They should
be on the lookout for specific
words or expressions that may
contradict someone, and check
whether the argument is based
on the facts, data or examples
presented or not.
• Restating an argument entails
repeating the problematic
issue by giving nuance to
what was said and adding new
information that reiterates the
argument. Ask your students to
remember other practices in
which they learned strategies
for giving nuance so they can
apply them here.
• Use this opportunity to explain
how to identify different types
of websites. For example: we
can recognize a commercial
website if it has “.com” at the
end. Government websites end
in “.gov” and education sites
finish in “.edu”.

Activity 26
• Some of the strategies shown in the diagram are bound to appear in the brainstorming session you carry
out with your students. You may want to focus on consolidating the strategies that are different or those with
which your students are less familiar.
• Coordinate the organization in advance of the discussion. You can have them listen to or watch public discussions
(for example town hall meetings, rallies, etc.) to check different formats for carrying out the discussion.
Activity 27

Closure stage-socialization
• This discussion does not need to be as structured as a debate. Therefore, a moderator may not be
needed. Instead, an agenda could be prepared, that is a list of items and the order in which they will be
discussed. However, even in this community gathering there is a panel of people in charge of checking
whether everything has been discussed and dealt with adequately.
• It is important that everyone has their say, so prepare accordingly. There should be some time for
presenting and discussing each situation, as well as for presenting (which may be a short, improvised
discourse) and giving a conclusion.
