The girl who stood up for Education

As usual - I want you to record your discussion and send it to ulrikaselever@gmail.com

You have, at home, read the text about Malala and it has now been time to do some reflections about the text. I want you to:

1. Talk about the text - what is the text about? Did you understand everything in the text? Did you get any questions while reading the text which you can discuss with your group mates?

Discuss the following questions:

2. Malala had to fight for her right to go to school. Do you think kids in Sweden take school and education for granted?
3. Malala wanted to change the society she was living in. Is there anything that you would like to change in society? How would you make people aware of that problem?
4. There is a saying in English that goes “the pen is mightier than the sword”. What does the saying mean? How is the saying connected to the text Malala?
