Malala's story | 7th Primary School of Thebes Greece
Students from 7th Primary School of Thebes read the story of the youngest Nobel Prize laureate, Malala Yousafzai, fighting for the right of girls to attend school despite violent attacks. Standing up for Girls’ Rights is told in her own words, it is told in Malala’s voice, the voice of a young girl. Malala shows us her world in her native Pakistan as she sees it and understands it, providing a window for students living lives so different from hers. She tells of her first-hand experience watching the Taliban in action. The Taliban is against girls learning. She defied the Taliban, was attacked and injured. She speaks up to news stations, writes online under a pseudonym, and gives speeches when possible to speak about how unfair the Taliban treats everyone, especially women. While standing as an advocate for education, she was also studying hard for exams and even breaking rules to continue going to school.
This book was so beneficial because it is important for students to read about other children in other countries.
Malala's story is not only instructive but also inspiring. My students made comments on how brave she had been and how inspiring she was to each of them. Malala inspires because she does not give up. Not when the Taliban take over her village. Not when they threaten her. Not when they attack her! She writes her story. She speaks internationally. She demonstrates that one young person with unending persistence can truly change in the world.
