Introduction Flashcards
Hook
Education is the most powerful key for progress. But what happens when war snatches away this key? In Persepolis and Malala’s speech, we witness that this is the case.
GI
For the following oral I will be discussing the inquiry fields of Beliefs, values and education, more specifically I’d like to address the effect of war and conflict on women’s education.
Texts
My first text is an extracted page of Chapter 10, of the graphic novel ‘Persepolis’ by Marjane Satrapi, where she recounts her experiences growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. Whereas The non-literary text is Malala’s 16th birthday speech at the UN commonly known as “The Power of Education”, Malala is an advocate for change, she is the voice of countless girls whose education has been disrupted by conflict and this speech is no exception to it.
Closure
These two texts offer powerful narratives that show the harsh realities faced by women when their access to education is hindered by war.
