and which ones restrict access through gender or cost?• Who are the winners and losers?• Who is Malala?• What happened to Malala and has it made a difference
to other girls across the world?• How do you feel about girls and their right to
education?

Time to think, discuss, decide!
In your separate groups – have a look at the images of classrooms from countries across the world. Your group will be given two titles, and, as a group, decide which images go under each title.
You have to discuss why you would put an image in a particular place and be able to explain that to your group and to your class.
There are no right or wrong answers here, but you have to be able to justify your choices!
Lay your cards out in a straight line – from the most… to the least…!

We will… Find out if women and have the same opportunities.
Compare and comment upon patterns and statistics for health, economic activity political participation and access to education; and try to explain what we find out!
Are men and women treated equally?Men and women have different things to deal with all over the world: raising families, respect issues, finding a job that will allow them to support their family and give them a decent standard of living (earn a living/decent wage) and quality of life (happiness and good health). We are focusing on Gender Inequality and unfortunately, this often means the people with power in a society taking advantage of those with less power, influence, political rights or money
Watch the following clip and record as many ways that you can, that show how women are treated differently to men.
How are women treated differently to men in different societies?

So what patterns do you see?Try to make an observation and then explain it using your own knowledge, your own research, information from the maps etc..
As a class – look at the map and information on health. Focus on Africa.
Africa:Discuss– is there one colour that shows up more than the others? Where are there more green colours? Where is there mostly yellows and oranges? Can you name a country or two as an example?Try to explain why there are more yellow and orange countries in Africa, for health.
Write a summary of what you noticed (describe the pattern).Write down the main reasons for this pattern. (Using the best answers you heard).
Read over your paragraph and make sure you have started each sentence with a capital letter and have used spelling, punctuation and grammar accurately. Remember, every place name gets a capital letter too!
Now each pair takes a different continent and map and tries to describe the pattern and explain the pattern.

We will…Find out ‘Who is Malala’.Learn about the events that changed her life completely in 2012.Summarise these events in tweets!Improve our reading, writing and working with others skills.
I am Malala.I didn't want my future to be imprisoned in my four walls and just cooking and giving birth”
Malala Yousafzai
Watch the news report of the events that took place on 9th October 2012.
Reading for Meaning:First: readingRead the newspaper report together and aloud.
What text type is this?
What is the newspaper article about?
Interpretation of text: scanning and summarisingIn pairs, read each paragraph again and try to give a title that summarise that paragraph.
Now in x6 teams , you are going to write a ‘Tweet’ for either the first three paragraphs or the last three paragraphs – your teacher will tell you which!
Using 15 words, or less, you have to summarise the important bits of the paragraph into the word frames.
The class will feedback to the teacher - each team will tweet a paragraph and the teacher will record it on the board.
Improving understanding: redrafting.Read over the completed tweet. Does it make sense? Does it summarise what the article was trying to say?
Now, after it has been improved, copy it into your Tweet box in your best handwriting and using good literacy skills.
I am MalalaOn 9 October, 2012, schoolgirl Malala Yousafzai, aged 15, was shot in the head by Taliban gunmen. Her "crime“ was to have spoken up for the right of girls to be educated in Pakistan. The world reacted in horror, but after weeks in intensive care Malala survived.
The Swat Valley was famous in Pakistan for it’s free and excellent schools for boys and girls. Malala’s father was also a firm believer in using your talents for society so was proud to have his daughter go to school and to do well. This was one of the reasons for Malala’s drive to succeed: she wanted to do more with her life than to cook and sew at home. With a university degree she could be a doctor, a politician or a lawyer: without it she would have to get married and have a family.
At the end of 2008, the local Taliban issued a warning - all female education had to cease within a month, or schools would suffer consequences. Malala remembers the moment well: "'How can they stop us going to school?' I was thinking. 'It's impossible, how can they do it?'“ In defiance, Malala started writing a blog for BBC. The blog was anonymous, but Malala also spoke out in public about the right to education, and the Taliban did not like this.
On the afternoon of 9 October, she walked out of school as normal and boarded a small bus waiting outside the gates. It was only a short journey. That day, she was in the middle of her exams, and had a lot on her mind, but there was still the usual after-school chat and gossip to share with Moniba, who was sitting next to her, but as the bus progressed along its route Malala says she did notice something unusual - the road seemed deserted. "I asked Moniba, 'Why is there no-one here? Can you see it's not like it usually is?'"
Moments later, the bus was flagged down by two young men, only 100 yards from the school gates. Then she heard one ask: "Who is Malala?" Moniba at first wondered if the men were more journalists but she quickly grasped that Malala had sensed danger. "She was very scared at that time,' she remembers. The girls looked at Malala, thereby innocently identifying her. The Taliban men shot her in the head.
News of the shooting spread quickly. Malala's father was at the Press Club when a phone call came to tell him one of his school buses had been attacked. He feared at once that it was Malala who had been targeted. He found her on a stretcher in the hospital. When I looked towards her face I just bowed down, I kissed her on the forehead, her nose, and cheeks," he says. "And then I said, 'You're my daughter. I am proud of you.‘ "She was initially conscious, but restless and agitated, moving all her limbs," he says. The entry wound of the bullet was above her left brow. From there it had travelled down through her neck and lodged in her back. I did not know if my brave little girl would survive.”
extract from Mishal Hussain’s article fro the BBC, October 2013.
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 3
‘Mini-Tweet’ a summary of what each
paragraph is about.
You must do it in less than twenty four
words for each paragraph.
Remember hashtags count as a word too!
#NotFair
Now using the best paragraphs write out your final tweet summarising the article.
Write it up tidily: good handwriting, spelling, punctuation and grammar.

• Look at the news article again.
• If you could ask the Taliban men, who shot Malala, one question about why they shot Malala or the education system in the Swat area in Pakistan,what would it be?
We will keep these questions for the starter in next week’s lesson.

We will be…On a fact-finding mission:Investigating what provision and access to education is there in six different countries.Showing our results on graphs.Analysing the results.Giving our opinion on them.
Research: Access to Education on different continents
You are to use the atlases (purple data pages), internet and own knowledge to find out about education in 6 different countries on six different continents. You can present the information as you like – on a table, on a powerpoint/prezi presentation, handwritten poster presentation etc.. Your choice! However, every presentation must include facts, figures, images and information about…
• Compulsory School Age (from ___yrs to __yrs)• Cost of education to family (US$)• Number of University places/1000 of population• Literacy rate (%)• Typical class size• General comments or interesting facts about education in
that country.
The countries you are investigating are…Afghanistan, Asia; USA, North America; New Zealand, Oceania; Botswana, Africa; UK, Europe, and Brazil, South America.
Choose a suitable format to display you r results and to present them in an accurate graph.
Remember the rules of drawing graphs:Title?Labels?Written in pen?Drawn in pencil?
Will you compare data using a..Bar graph?Scattergraph?Pictogram?Pie-chart?
You decide!
Analysing your graph:
Describe your graph (say what you see)_____ countries start school sooner than…. You have to pay for education in … but not in… etc…
Explain what your graph showsMore developed countries have…. because….
Less developed countries have a varied set of results….because….
Do you feel the UK is a good place to have to go to school? Explain/justify your answer.It’s good because (opinion) ……. (based on something you found out)…
You will have to decide is it worth sending girls to school!• Do females contribute to the economy of Neath Port
Talbot and Wales? Equally?• Would it not be better for everyone if girls stayed at home
and helped out with the running of the house, looking after elderly and other children in the family?
• Is it important to have ambition if you are a girl?• Would males be able to do all the jobs in the workplace?• Do the boys and girls in the classroom have the same
opinions?

Still developing this final part of the unit.
There will be stats from the RLSO site and pupils will be asked to decide if it is worth sending girls to school.
They will have to produce graphs and justify their reasons.
My first draft/attempt was good enough for first year degree level!!! Trying to adapt it. If I can’t I will come up with a research project to tie the ideas in and provide graphical images for them.
Hope this meets the requirements on improving:ESDGCLiteracyNumeracy
If you need me to change anything, please let me know.
