Malala YousafzaiA modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides with detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, and more. For select classroom titles, we also provide Teaching Guides with discussion and quiz questions to prompt student engagement.
Throughout the text, Yousafzai and other refugee authors narrate their personal experiences with displacement due to war, violence, and poverty. What is the overall role of displacement in the collection of stories? Consider these points as you reflect on the text to answer the question.
Teaching Suggestion: If students have trouble approaching this topic, consider beginning the discussion by asking students whether difficult experiences ever have a positive impact on those who must experience them. Perhaps the class could generate a list of positive and negative impacts of a difficult experience and then could expand the conversation to analyze the experience of displacement. The discussion of this prompt and accompanying questions will allow students to focus on textual details in their search for nuanced descriptions and characterizations that draw together those who are displaced.
