2. If you choose to use the annotation symbols for close reading, feel free to
utilize whatever symbols your students are currently familiar with or copy the
symbols key on the following page for student reference. During close reading,
students should read the passage a minimum of two times (three times is
preferable). The first read is a “no pressure” read for pleasure. During the
second read, students can number the paragraphs, make note of important
details, mark unknown words, etc. The third read allows students to dig deeper.
This is the time when students might jot notes in the margins, look for bigger
themes, make connections to their own lives, and search for deeper meaning.
3. The newspaper template can be used in a variety of ways. You can give students
a specific writing prompt for the article (Write a newspaper article about the
life and times of Malala Yousafzai, for example). Students can also come up with
their own ideas about the angle they’d like to take in completing the newspaper
article. The opportunities with the newspaper template are endless.
4. The Biography Report can be used for students to write their own Malala
Yousafzai biography, or it can be used to write a speech about Malala. As with
any activity that you plan for your class, use your best judgment and knowledge
about your students to determine their performance expectations. The mini-
book biography passage is not intended to contain exhaustive information about
Malala, but instead to give a clear overview of the major events in her life.
Students will be required to do some of their own research to complete a few
of the activities.

Malala Yousafzai
Malala grew up in Mingora, Pakistan on the River Swat. Even though
many of the children in Pakistan were not able to go to school, Malala was
very fortunate. Her father, Ziauddin Yousafzai, was the principal at a
school for girls. Many people in Pakistan did not believe that girls should go
to school, but Malala and her father believed that girls should have the
same rights as boys. Some families only sent their boys to school and
other families were too poor to send any of their children to school at all.
Malala knew how important it was to get an education, so she worked very
hard in school. She studied math, science, history, and Islam. In addition,
she learned three languages – Pashto (Malala’s native language), English,
and Urdu (Pakistan’s national language).
In 2007, when Malala was 10 years old, members of the Taliban
began taking over Swat Valley where she lived. She had heard about the
Taliban and knew that they made women obey very strict laws. Here are
a few examples:
• Girls and women were not allowed to leave the house without a family
member that was a man.
• Girls could not go to school.
• All women had to wear burqas (fabric that covered the entire body
and face).
• Women could not have a job.
• Women could not go to hospitals or see doctors when they were sick.
Malala, along with her Muslim family, friends, and community
members believed that women and girls had the right to be treated with
kindness and respect.
Towards the end of 2007, the Pakistan army came to fight the
Taliban in Malala’s community. It was a very dark time for the people of
Mingora. Many schools and other buildings were closed or destroyed.
Children who once attended school chose to stay home because they
feared for their safety. The fighting continued for months and months.

Malala always felt strongly about every child’s right to an
education. In September 2008, she gave a speech that was called “How
Dare the Taliban Take Away My Basic Right to Education?” Reporters
printed her words in newspapers, and she felt good about speaking up in
this way.
Despite her desire to go to school, at the end of 2008, the Taliban
announced that girls would no longer have the right to attend school as
of January 15, 2009.
During this same time, at the end of 2008, Malala had an
opportunity to write a blog for the British Broadcasting Corporation
(BBC). They were looking for someone to write about the school
closings in Mingora. The teachers didn’t want to do it because it was
much too dangerous. In talking with the BBC about this opportunity,
Malala’s father decided that Malala might be a good person to take on
this challenge. Due to the dangers and possible consequences from the
Taliban, they decided that Malala would not use her name in the blog, but
would instead use a disguised name, Gul Maka (this was the name of a
brave child from a Pashtun folktale). Malala’s blog was called Diary of a
Pakistani Schoolgirl. The first blog post was published on the BBC
website on January 3, 2009. Her words continued to be published on
the site in subsequent posts until March 12, 2009.
On the day that Malala’s school was set to close, January 15,
2009, the war in her village had gotten very dangerous. Many people,
including Malala and her family, fled the area for their own safety.
First, they traveled to her grandmother’s village and then to other cities
where family members lived. They returned home on July 24, 2009.
Her village was in shambles, and many things were destroyed, but the
Taliban was gone.
In the days and weeks that followed, schools were rebuilt, and
Malala continued to speak up about equal rights for education. She went
to school each day and filled her notebook with words. “Education is our
basic right,” she’d say. Many people all over the world had read her blog
posts, seen her on TV, and heard about her brave willingness to speak

out. In 2011, the minister of Pakistan awarded her with the National
Youth Peace Prize (later named the National Malala Peace Prize). She
was gaining recognition for her courage all over the world.
Unfortunately, even though the Taliban left Mingora, it didn’t mean
that they had gone far or gone away for good. Malala had been so
successful in her fight for girls’ rights that the Taliban did not like her or
her father. They threatened Malala and her family.
On October 9, 2012, Malala was riding home from school on the
bus with her friend Moniba. Suddenly the bus stopped, and two men
stepped on. One of the men asked, “Who is Malala?” Even though no
one spoke, some of the girls glanced in Malala’s direction and the men
figured out who she was. One of them had a gun and he pointed it
towards Malala and pulled the trigger three times. Two other girls were
also injured.
Malala spent time at local hospitals and was later transferred to a
hospital in England that specializes in these types of injuries. Though
she was very ill, miraculously, she survived!
Malala woke up in the hospital and didn’t remember what had
happened. The doctors weren’t sure if she’d ever be able to hear or
speak again, but she surprised them all. She spent the next nine
months in physical therapy so she could continue to get well.
News of Malala’s shooting spread across the world. People were
horrified that a young girl almost lost her life just because she spoke
out about the importance of girls getting an education. Her name and
her story were widely known, and her courage was felt all over the
world.
After she got well enough to return to school, she started taking
classes in Birmingham. She missed her home and her friends but was
able to use a computer to keep in touch with them.
Just nine months after the shooting, Malala was asked to speak at
the United Nations in New York City. People gathered from all over the
world to hear what she had to say.

Malala addressed the crowd in English. “They thought that the
bullets would silence us, but they failed… and out of that silence came
thousands of voices. The terrorists thought they would change my aims
and stop my ambitions. But nothing changed in my life except this:
weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power, and courage
was born,” she said.
Much like Martin Luther King, Jr., she believed in peace and said
that she does not wish to harm the man who shot her. Malala’s
peaceful approach and inspiring words were replayed on televisions all
over the world.
In 2014, Malala became the youngest person ever to receive the
Nobel Peace Prize. Notable people such as Martin Luther King, Jr.,
Mother Teresa, and Nelson Mandela had also received this same honor in
years prior.
In her acceptance speech on December 10, 2014, Malala said,
“This award is not just for me. It is for those forgotten children who
want education. It is for those frightened children who want peace. It
is for those voiceless children who want change.”
During this time, she also started the Malala Fund, which supports
education for girls all over the world. For example, the Malala Fund has
helped 40 girls from her own village get an education. Not only does she
raise money to help girls fight for their right to go to school, but she
also visits many countries and supports projects for education all over
the world.
Malala hopes to become a politician one day so that she can help
save her country and continue to make positive changes for children.
She is a truly a courageous warrior who wishes to empower people to
use their voices for positive change.
