Malala:
Was there ever a point during your recovery where you felt as if you just couldn't be an advocate anymore? If so, What made you change your mind? Is there a time and a place that you belief you could ever feel comfortable and safe again in the learning environment? If so, When did the moment happen?
Shugafa: Does going to school provide an outlet for you despite the violence and hate that you could receive for attending it? Did you hope that attending school would make a stand for women or did it start more as a journey for self- improvement and fulfillment? how does it make you feel to know that you made this impact for the rights of women, especially in the area of education?

Malala, you are truly so brave and courageous. You have been advocating for women's rights with hopes that they will be given the opportunity to go to school as you did. You have put a target on your back and you persist to make a change no matter the consequences. Even after you suffered from a gun shot to the head by the Taliban you have not hindered in you mission for equality. What drives you to sacrifice so  much even after being attacked by the most dangerous people in the world?

Shugafa, getting an education is very tasking. Especially for a women, who is perceived to be not good enough or worth while to receive schooling. How can you go to school knowing there is so much prejudice and violence against women who are trying to better themselves?

Malala, after waking up in the hospital what was your biggest concern while you were recovering? What pushed you to stand up against those who hurt you and your classmates? Do you look at education the same way after being shot on the school bus?

Shugafa, what motivates you to want to go to school, if there are so many dangers for women that they face in this area? When you are in school do you focus more on the subject, or a fear of violence that you can face? Do you ever not want to attend school due to the violence facing education?

Malala: If you could have chosen your life, would you still have chosen to be an advocate for women's education, or would you choose to be the 'normal' teen girl in your culture?
Shugafa: You said you didn't "clip her wings." By this, do you mean you feel you didn't protect her enough and let her "fly"? If you could go back, would you still ensure that your daughter be the advocate she is, or would you make her be like the other girls in your culture? If she came to you and expressed her desire to do the things she has done, would you still allow it, knowing the consequences? What would you have done differently while raising her, if anything?

DIRECTIONS: Compose and post to Padlet at least two questions after watching and reading about education in SW Asia (Pakistan and Afghanistan). Consider the following: What questions do these stories raise in your mind (hint: look at the previous slide for ideas)?
