Activity 2: The Right to an Education [4 points]

Malala Yousafzai is a woman who was born and raised in Pakistan. In 2012, she was shot and wounded when traveling home on the bus from school. At the time, girls (and women) living in Pakistan were not encouraged, or even allowed, to go to school. It is widely believed that Malala was attacked because she (and her father) did not agree with this idea and they felt that women had the right to an education.

Once Malala recovered from her injuries she continued to advocate (fight) for the rights of all women to receive an education. For this work, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014 - the youngest person to ever receive this prestigious prize. You can read more of her story here.

As well as giving speeches in front of many very important and influential people, Malala has written books about her own life. She has also written a book for children called Malala’s Magic Pencil.

This is a narrative about a brave girl trying to cure her grandma.

On a dark cloudy day. Emily went to get a cure for her sick grandma.

But the only way you could get the cure was you would have to go through a

tunnel with a monster inside of it.

As Emily was nervously approaching the tunnel she thought of an idea.

She quickly ran to shop nearby and bought with all the money she had.

Then she put the meat down in front of the tunnel then hid. 

As she ran and hid the monster roared louder than ten lions.

Then he ripped it open and started eating.

Then she quickly ran threw the tunnel and got the cure.

But as she was running outside the tunnel she tripped.

Then the monster looked back and ran.

The monster was as fast as lightning.

He grabbed her and tossed to the front of the tunnel.

But then Emily saw someone approaching with an axe.

Then the man bravely chopped his head off. 

Then Emily thanked the man then quickly ran away and cured his grandma.
