Teaching Points<br />
Animal rights is an extremely high‐interest topic for<br />
students and is among the top 5 most‐searched topics in<br />
Gale’s OVIC database.<br />
Some animal rights activists argue that animals need to<br />
be given rights of personhood, so that they can have<br />
value as living beings and be considered more than<br />
property under the law.<br />
Opponents of granting rights of personhood to animals<br />
argue that doing so would pose a grave threat to the<br />
economy, the pet care industry, as well as to many<br />
cultural and religious institutions.<br />
Market Needs<br />
Some major social issues seem distant and hard to comprehend, but students of all ages have strong feelings about<br />
animals and the role they play in our world. Animal Rights and Welfare is a social issue students encounter when<br />
studying biological, agricultural, and environmental sciences, but also in English language arts, history, social studies, and<br />
civics classes. It's a common debate topic and a favorite subject for research papers.<br />
Engaging and timely topics provide ideal content for students to conduct research to “build and present knowledge” as<br />
recommended by common core ELA standards for writing (ELA‐Literacy.W.9‐10.7‐9 and W.11‐12.7‐9). In addition, this<br />
content supports Next Generation Science Standards emphasizing biodiversity, ecosystems, and other facets of life<br />
sciences and earth sciences.<br />
