Have your students create a collaborative poster and learn about Malala Yousafzai in a fun, fresh, and engaging way! Through this activity, students will explore Malala’s courageous fight for girls’ education, her perseverance in the face of adversity, and her global work as a human rights advocate. As they work together, they’ll also strengthen their teamwork and communication skills while contributing to one unified final product.
This biography research activity is an excellent addition to any social studies lesson, leadership unit, or global awareness project. Students will connect Malala’s activism, bravery, and voice for justice to broader themes of equality, human rights, and education for all.
Students will begin by researching Malala Yousafzai and gathering information about her background, activism, and achievements. They’ll then record their findings in the designated sections on the poster before working together to color or paint and assemble the final display. Once completed, the six-piece poster can be printed on regular paper or cardstock and will measure approximately 28" x 15" when taped together. For long-lasting classroom use, you can laminate the finished product!
This resource includes student directions, a project rubric, and a brainstorm graphic organizer. It also includes six blank coloring pages that come together to form one cohesive poster, a Malala Yousafzai answer key, and an example of the final project to guide and inspire your students.
