The latest addition to the Teachers' Notes section of Newsround's website is advice on how classes can use the execution of Saddam Hussein to discuss Human rights.

A short overview is followed by the "Learning aims" and then an "icebreaker" which has nothing to do with Saddam Hussein.

The reason?

The Citizenship "lesson plan" is almost identical to this one from December 2005. They couldn't even be bothered to update the Icebreaker section. Talk about money for old rope.

And on the subject of Human rights, I am trying to find out why a message thread was summarily removed from Newsround's In The News messageboard (see blog 29 December 2006).
