I am Malala

Seventh graders in my Research for Writing classes read ten minutes each class.  I picked up this book today because I don't know enough about life in Pakistan. I cannot imagine a society where some people are considered not worth educating, and I though this was an opportunity to enlighten EB students, even on a small scale. Also, quite frankly, I am embarrassed I haven't read it already. This book is BIG! I don't mean it is long--it isn't.  It is BIG because it carries a message about the importance of education for everyone and the need for global awareness in our smaller world. A fifteen year old girl speaks up for education and is shot in the head by Taliban.  Hey, if she has something to say, I want to listen!  If you do too, stop by the library for a copy.  --Mrs. Tucker
