Embeding My Stars Poem Screencastify
Today Room 8 was with Ms Minehan and we worked on how to put a screencastify on our blog by embeding the video. Personally I think this is way easier and quicker to use.

Book Review
Malala Yousafzai Against The Odds
Author: Claire Thorp
Would you like to hear a thrilling story of a young girl who doesn’t want anything
but education?

This book is set in the present day in the Southern Asia, Pakistan. Pakistan’s
neighbours are China, India, Afghanistan and Iran.

Malala Yousafzai is a girl who was born with talent. Malala and other women in
Pakistan weren’t allowed to have freedom, but Malala stood up for her rights
and kept doing what she loved. Women weren’t allowed to go into town without a
male. Malala thought that was wrong. Women weren’t allowed to go to school.
Malala’s father, (Ziauddin Yousafzai) set up a school for girls, there were
only two rooms in that school. Malala’s Mother (Tor Pekai) couldn’t read or write
because of the way that they were treated.

Malala has been an inspiration to people all over the world to make peace. Malala
visited Nigeria where over 200 women had been kidnapped and sold for slaves.
She met with the parents of the kidnapped girls and she tried to persuade the
Nigerian President to raise enough money so that the parents can go see their
girls that have escaped. Eventually he decided to do it and they got to go see
their kids. I feel very sad that there are still Nigerian Women being used as slaves.

Personally this book is my favourite one yet. It’s a really good inspiration to
people and I think people all over the world should read it. For me I think the a
ge group for people to read is 10+.

An Analogy is comparing an idea or a thing to another idea
that is quite different from that.
It targets at explaining something
that is familiar.
