Lesson 3, Exhibit B: Excerpts from Malala's BBC Diary

2017

This exhibit includes selected excerpts from Malala Yousafzai’s BBC web diary, and accompanies “Analyzing Advocacy,” a lesson plan that encourages students to think about leadership and methods for advocating for change and to consider Malala’s impact. Students reflect on these pieces of Malala’s writing, connect her recommendations for change to the social determinants categories identified in a previous lesson, and draft their own letter to Malala.

This resource is part of the “Gender, Conflict, and Education” teaching pack, which was developed by the Global Health Education and Learning Incubator at Harvard University. This module focuses on the intersection of gender, conflict, and education through the experience of Malala Yousafzai, who in 2012 was shot by members of the Taliban due to her educational activism. It emphasizes the connection between education and long-term health outcomes, as well as the responses that are necessary to impact social determinants of health. The teaching pack includes an instructor’s note, a short case study on Malala, four lesson plans with supplemental exhibits, an annotated bibliography, and a select glossary of terms.
