Lesson Overview (continued)
WRITING POWER 25 MIN
Respond to Reading Make sure campers have their copies of Free as a Bird: The Story of Malala and their notebooks open to the graphic organizer for this lesson . Campers will revisit the book and pay close attention to the events in Malala's life that shaped her feelings about the importance of education. They will use these details in the next lesson to write about how they know that education was important to Malala.
MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS Make sure that campers understand the words and concepts that are mentioned in the graphic organizer. Review what it means for girls and women to have rights.
Writing Power On Day 1, model rereading and using a graphic organizer to gather text evidence and details. On Day 2, campers will use the information in their graphic organizers to support their writing about the reading.
Draw a web on the board or on chart paper. (Refer to the graphic organizer for this lesson in the Graphic Organizers section.) As you guide campers to find details in the book, model filling in your web while campers fill in their own. Model This biography includes some of the events that shaped Malala's feelings about education. Read pages 8 to 9 aloud. What events on these pages made an impact on Malala and her views about school and education? Give campers time to talk and share their thinking. Model filling in the first two or three circles of the web while campers write in their notebooks. Practice Have partners work together to identify the other key events in Malala’s life that shaped her views about education, particularly as related to girls. Clarify Remind campers that in the next lesson, they will use the details they gathered in their notebooks to help them write about how they know that education was important to Malala. CLOSING CAMPFIRE 15 MIN Reflection Question Have partners turn knee to knee and discuss this question. There are many ways to show courage, including speaking up when you think something is wrong or unfair. Why does speaking up sometimes take courage? Praise and Affirmation Offer concrete praise and affirmation for campers’ efforts and accomplishments today. Shooting Stars Dance With the group, throw shooting stars (pretend to throw a basketball into a hoop). Campers can do a dance with the praise or put it in their pockets.
Closing Campfire Gather the group to review, reflect, and celebrate the day’s accomplishments.
