If you did not complete the reading questions, complete them today. In addition, answer the following questions in a minimum of 4 sentences. 

 

  1. In the context of Malala Yousafzai’s life and speech, what does it mean to be brave? Cite evidence from the text in your answer. 

  2. According to Malala Yousafzai, what is the purpose of education? To what extent do you agree with her claim? Cite evidence from the text and your own education in your answer. 

  3. Malala discusses how the Taliban perceives women during her speech. This perception may appear very different from how women are viewed in America, but it could be argued that there are similarities between how some Americans and some Pakistanis view the roles of women. What claim would a person make to prove this point?
