We have reached the 1/3 marker in our #GRA18Amal book.

So far 4T have enjoyed responding to comments on our own blog and leaving our thoughts about the themes of the book on our buddy class’ blogs from Saskatoon, Canada and Powhatan, Virginia in the United States of America.

Our thoughts so far on what we have read:

• I think it is unfair that Amal’s dad is keeping her away from her education and pursuing her dreams. – Joanna and Max
• Amal is like Malala in some ways, they both want to go to school and learn. – Esther
• Girls are treated unfairly compared to boys. For example, boys get a bigger library and are encouraged to learn more than the girls. – Alex and Morgan
• I think that it is scary how different Amal’s life is to ours. – Tori
• The Khan landlords treat others with disrespect. – Lucas
• I think the author Aisha Saeed has written the book really well because she leaves a cliff hanger at the end of each chapter. – Joanna

This week, we would like you to record yourselves filming a short (20 sec) clip responding to one of the questions in the Padlet below.
