Standing With Malala: Meet the Teenagers Who Survived the Taliban and Kept Going to School by Jing Fong and Araz Hachadourian On a Tuesday in October 2012, a bus carrying the students of Khushal Girls High School and College in Pakistan’s Swat Valley came to a stop. The girls inside were on their way home from a day of exams. “I was looking outside daydreaming,” recalls Shazia Ramzan, who was 14 years old at the time. “I was talking with my best friend, Sana,” says Ramzan's friend, Kainat Riaz, who was 16. Moments later, Taliban gunmen boarded the bus looking for the girls’ classmate Malala Yousafzai, a 15-year-old advocate for girls’ education who wrote about the Taliban and education on her blog. In 2007, the Taliban arrived in the Swat Valley—known by locals as the “Switzerland of Pakistan” for its natural beauty—and began ordering the closure of schools, particularly for girls. The October 2012 shooting was just one act of terror used to enforce the ban. After the shooting, Malala was moved to Britain for months of medical treatment. At first, Ramzan and Riaz remained in Swat. YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!
Qual é a função das impressões digitais no corpo humano? É verdade que não existem duas iguais? ÚNICA NO MUNDO Digital de Beatriz Vichessi, editora desta coluna. Não tem igual Impressões digitais são linhas salientes nas pontas dos dedos que têm apenas uma finalidade fisiológica: apreensão. Se elas não existissem, a pele seria lisa e não teríamos a aderência necessária para segurar objetos sem que escorregassem. São formadas no sexto mês de vida uterina e só se descaracterizam com múltiplas cicatrizes ou depois da morte. Existem quatro tipos básicos de linhas: arco, presilha interna, presilha externa e verticilo - e com base nelas foram observados os desenhos formados e as linhas receberam letras e números simbólicos.

I, Too, Sing America Patriotism's a pretty complicated concept. It can mean standing up for your country or criticizing it. If you want to sum up patriotism, you can simply call it "love for one's country." Langston Hughes certainly doesn't think so. Hughes was often considered the poet laureate of the Harlem Renaissance. Hughes published "I, Too, Sing America" in 1945, a good ten years or so before the start of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. We started this party talking about patriotism. Patriotism's all about loving your country and being proud to be its citizen, right? In Langston Hughes's case, he knows that by birth he's an American citizen. So Hughes pens this poem, in which he envisions a greater America, a more inclusive America. Freedom and equality.

Book Excerpt: My Forbidden Face, by Latifa — When the Taliban took over the Afghan capital, Kabul, in 1997, Latifa was a 16-year-old teenager, listening to Elvis and dreaming of going to college. The Taliban's harsh rule transformed her life for the next four years. Following is an excerpt from her book, My Forbidden Face: Growing Up Under the Taliban — A Young Woman's Story, which she wrote in exile after fleeing the Taliban regime in 2001. Chapter One The White Flag Over the Mosque 9 A.M., September 27, 1996. Someone knocks violently on our door. Until this morning. Papa returns to the kitchen, followed by Farad, our young cousin, who is pale and breathless. "I came...to find out how you were. "No, no one's been here, but we saw the white flag waving over the mosque-Daoud spotted it a few hours ago. This morning, around five o'clock, my young brother Daoud went downstairs as usual to fetch some water from the tap in the courtyard of our building, but came hurrying back up with the basin still empty. "Can you imagine?
What are Human Rights Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, whatever our nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, language, or any other status. We are all equally entitled to our human rights without discrimination. These rights are all interrelated, interdependent and indivisible. Universal human rights are often expressed and guaranteed by law, in the forms of treaties, customary international law , general principles and other sources of international law.

Human rights are inalienable. Interdependent and indivisible Equal and non-discriminatory Both Rights and Obligations

Making the World a Better Place - Warm Up - Mia Smith Som lärare återanvänder man gamla favorituppgifter, justerar, revider och förbättrar. Men ibland måste man få tänka nytt. Under våren tyckte jag att jag dök på ganska många saker i sociala medier som skulle kunna passa mina elever, om de bara kopplades in i ett sammanhang. Jag hade inget utrymme i planeringen under terminen, men bestämde mig för att börja samla för att göra något av detta till höstterminen. Att samla idéer digitalt Det viktigaste jag gjorde i det här läget var att jag skapade en mapp i Pearltrees där jag kunde samla inspirationen. När jag väl hade skapat denna mapp kunde jag börja samla idéer. Jag insåg snabbt att temat behövde delas upp i olika delteman. Warm up – strategies Vi värmde upp med en kort uppgift om Malala. När eleverna gruppvis hade hittat sina förklaringar och översättningar arbetade vi i klassen med att muntligt förklara orden med andra ord. Ytterligare tips Man kan ju självklart skapa egna ordkort utifrån gloslistor, möjligheterna är oändliga.
