Institutions

What is an institution? 

An institution is social structure in which people cooperate and which influences the behaviour of people and the way they live.

An institution has a purpose. Institutions are permanent, which means that they do not end when one person is gone. An institution has rules and can enforce rules of human behavior. The word "institution" can be used in two ways. It can mean a very broad idea, or a very "specific" (narrow) one. 

Watch the following videos to help you understand more what institutions are: 

There are different kinds of institutions around the world. We are going to study some in our country which are connected to the protection of Children's rights. These are some of them: 

UNICEF

JUNAEB

SENAME

Cruz Roja

Aldeas infantiles SOS

Chile crece contigo

Rights OR Responsibilities

What are our rights?

Our rights are what every human being deserves, no matter who they are or where they live, so that we can live in a world that is fair and just.

Some of our rights

Everyone has the right to have:

• safety
• education
• shelter (somewhere to live)
• warmth
• food
• clothing
• personal space
• freedom of speech
• to be different
• to feel comfortable
• equal opportunities (given the chance to be what you want to be whether you are rich or poor, whatever religion or race).

Of course since these rights are for everybody, that means we all have to take on responsibilities too.

In many parts of the world children and adults are not able to have things such as safety, shelter and food. They may live in war zones, refugee camps or areas where there are famines.

What is responsibility?

A responsibility is something you are expected to do.

A responsibility might be a task you are expected to do. For example, your parents expect you to brush your teeth. Brushing your teeth is “a responsibility” and it is your responsibility to brush your teeth every day. Another task example is that your teacher expects you to finish your homework on time and to do your best job. So it’s your responsibility to do your homework.

A responsibility might be a way you are expected to act. For example, your parents expect that if you go to play at the park, you will play in a way that won’t seriously hurt yourself or someone else. It’s your responsibility to have fun in a safe and courteous way.

What is “a consequence”?

A consequence is the result or outcome of our actions. Consequences can be positive (good) or negative (not good). For example, if you are supposed to do your chores by Sunday at 5:00 and you get them done, the consequence of your actions is that you get paid and your parents are happy with you. In another example, if you leave your bike behind your dad’s car and he doesn’t see it and runs over it, the consequence of your action is that your bike is ruined.

Being responsible means you do the things you are expected to do and accept the consequences (results) of your actions.

Making your paragraphs longer

Sometimes we are asked to write sentences and paragraphs but then we realize they could be longer and include more information. After writing, use these questions to make your creations more interesting: 

How can we connect sentences? Connectors!

The Writing Process

The writing process is a set of steps that writers use to help them plan, organize, and complete writing assignments. You can find different ways of describing these steps. Click on the image to read about each step.

Collecting and interpreting data through tally charts and graphs

What is a tally chart?

Tally charts are used to collect data quickly. Filling in a chart with marks representing numbers is faster than writing out words or figures and the data is collected into sub-groups immediately, making it easy to analyse. Tally charts are used to construct bar charts or pictograms. Watch the following videos to understand better how this works.

There are some essential parts each graph must have. Don't forget to include them! Information will change according to the topic you are working with. For example, if your graph is about how many people like a specific type of music you will write the music styles instead of colours. 

There are many different types of charts and graphs. Some of the most common ones are line graphs, bar graphs and pie charts. 

Line graphs show you how numbers have changed over time. They are used when you have data that are connected. They help you to show trends. For instance, average night time temperature in each month of the year.

Bar graphs are used to show numbers that are independent from each other. For example, data may include things like the number of children who like to play basketball, football or table tennis.  

Pie charts show you how a whole is divided into different parts.
