access to education in Pakistan?
Lets watch this video interview with Jon
Stewart, formerly of Comedy Centrals The Daily
Show
As you watch, jot down any compelling
ideas about education
 Reflection
Malala said, Going to school is not about learning different
subjects; it teaches you communication, it teaches you how to
live a life... It teaches students how to live with others, how to
accept each of the languages and traditions and each of [the]
religions. It also teaches us justice. It also teaches us respect. It
teaches us how to live together (14:15-14:47).

In a Notability note, compose a 5-7 sentence paragraph:

How are these ideas in line with St. Ignatius College Preps
Grad at Grad Values?

This is the worlds 6th largest population!
Capital: Islamabad
Neighboring Countries: Afghanistan, India, Iran, Tajikstan

Can you recall any descriptors of the landscape of Swat Valley?
Lush with variety of flowers
Beautiful waterfalls
Mountainous
Green hillsides
Plains and deserts
Dry beaches on the Persian Gulf
Context: Pakistani Culture
Pakistan is a nation of rich history made up of many cultures, ethnicities,
and languages
Natural disasters have had a significant impact on Pakistans political and
cultural landscape
Conflicts in Pakistan are influenced by geographical, political, and cultural
tensions.
In the 21st century, there has been much unrest
Pakistan is a Muslim country, but extremist groups (like the Taliban) have
deliberately misinterpreted Islamic teachings and used cruelty and force to
take over towns and regions
Malalas Heroic Journey
Malala is a hero in a number of ways, but her story follows the major stages
of the Heros Journey, a common archetypal story pattern in literature
Three Major Stages: Separation, Initiation and Transformation, and Return
Lets focus on one particular time in her life that exemplifies the Heros
Journey
Context: Class Dismissed in Swat is a 2009 New York Times documentary
that profiled Malalas school when it was shut down by the Taliban
At age 11, her family was displaced from their home after the Taliban closed
girls schools and the Pakistani military used violence to take back the valley
They were considered IDPs: internally displaced persons
Watch this video (14:29 onward) and in todays label the event that
transpires at each of the three major stages of the Heros Journey
Malalas Heroic Journey: 3 Major Stages
Separation
Malala and her brothers live with her aunt
They relocate to four cities in two months
Many other residents are not as lucky and live in tents and camps
Initiation and Transformation
The leaders of the community organize protests and conferences in Swat
Malalas father, Ziaudin, is among them
Malala misses her lost education; she misses her bedroom and books
She cannot resist her fathers influence and has a new dream to become a politician to save
my country
Return
Malala and her father meet with a United States aid to the Middle East
Six months later, the Yousafzais return to their home; Malalas room and books are all in tact
Malalas school was occupied by Pakistani army men, but she works to repair and reopen it
Leadership Reflection
Heroes undergo many journeys, sometimes within the larger scope of their
lifetime
What makes them a hero is dedicated to specific leadership qualities
Such qualities include: focus, confidence, transparency, integrity, inspiration, passion,
innovation, patience, and positivity
Malala and her father are clearly leaders, using their voices to speak up
about injustice and demand equal access to education
Respond to this reflection questions in todays Notability Note:
Which qualities of a leader do Malala and her father demonstrate in this
documentary? Cite a specific example and explain in detail.
 Exit Ticket:
Which leadership quality does Malala
demonstrate that you would also like to
