5 CHILDREN'S RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Revise the 12 rights and responsibilities of learners on page 11. These have already been attended to in
Grade 4. A very important aspect of these rules is that certain responsibilities are expected of you and that
you must also respect the rights of other learners, your educators and your parents.
5.1 ACTIVITY:
5.2 TO CONSIDER THE RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF LEARNERS
5.3 [LO 1.4]
The class is divided up into four groups. Two groups each discuss six of the twelve rights of learners and
two groups each discuss six of the twelve responsibilities. It is important that you should realise that with
each right there is also a responsibility. After the discussion the rst group tell how they feel about the six
rights that they have discussed. This is followed by the opinions of the group who have discussed the six
corresponding responsibilities. The remaining two groups follow in the same way.
