Class Dismissed

Who is Malala?
Malala Yousufzai is a fourteen year old girl from Pakistan.  She began speaking out against the Taliban when she was eleven years old. On Wednesday, she was shot by the Taliban and is now in critical condition. Many say she is very brave, but I think she is more like a hero for the Pakistan women trying to get their education and have the same rights as the men. 


Where does Malala live?

She lives in Swat Valley,Pakistan.  


What are the problems that Malala and her people face each day?

Some problems that Malala and her people face each day are that they could all be killed or seriously hurt every single day!! Or be separated and killed or turned against their own kind.  



*After January 15 girls must not go to school,otherwise the guardians and the school will be responsible



Concluding Thoughts
Why were Malala and her father so overcome with sadness and happiness when they returned to their home in Swat Valley?
They were so sad because there town was completly distroyed!!


What items was Malala most excited about finding when she returned to her home? 
She most excited to see her bed and her books for school.


Why were these items so precious to her? What do they symbolize?
They were so precious to her because they remind her of home and the books reminded her of her dreams to go to school and follow her dreams.


When did the school reopen?
The school reopened in August. 


How many schools remained closed? 
Over 200 schools didn't reopen in August.
