What is it like to be Malala? After you finish the memoir, you will know
Malala very well. Think back about some
of the important events that happened throughout the book. Try to see the world through Malala’s eyes.
Due on _________________________________________________
Your Task:
Pretend that you are Malala. You
don’t want your experiences to be forgotten and you want readers of your book
to understand the way you see things
and the way that you think. Write another version of your book, but this
time use pictures. In your book you get
to record how you felt, the things you saw, the people you met along the way,
and the experiences you had.
HERE IS WHAT WILL GO INTO YOUR BOOK
Your book must have between 8 and 10
pictures. Each picture must be
accompanied by a caption explaining what is happening and how you felt at the
time. Captions should be at least 3
sentences long.
Your story must be told in chronological
order. That means that you will have to
decide which important events from his story you want to include and you will
have to put them in order.
Your pictures must be big and clear with
enough details that your readers will be able to see what is happening. You can either draw scenes from the story or
you can use images collected from the internet or magazines/newspapers.
Your project must be done on nice paper. It should not be paper ripped from your
notebook. Used colored paper, make a
cover for your work and put it together neatly and with care. Try to have fun and be creative.
HOW TO PUT YOUR BOOK TOGETHER
Cover:
Your cover should have artwork on it that is clearly connected to Malala
and her story. It should have a title
that is written neatly. Make up your own
new title. You should also have your
teacher’s name, the class, and the date in the bottom right hand corner.
Letter to the Reader: Your book should have an introductory letter
to the person who will be reading it. If
you were Malala, what would you want people to know about you, and about what
it’s like to be you? Give a brief
explanation of who you are (as Malala) and what the reader will find inside the
book.
Table of Contents: You must have a table of contents. This will tell the reader what he or she will
find on each page. Each page must have a
number.

of your book. Make sure you edit it
carefully. It should be written from Malala’s

Place for comments from the Readers: The last two pages of
your book should be blank. This is
where readers can sign their names and leave comments about how they felt about
your book. Put a heading on the top of
these pages that says COMMENTS FROM READERS.
