Stories give us the opportunity to learn about and connect to other people's experiences. They can also allow us to feel deeply and shape the opinions we have and values we hold. In this activity, students watch three videos and then use thinking and reflection skills to explore the power of storytelling to help people learn about and connect to other people’s experiences.
This lesson is part of a collection of topics on Share My Lesson from Girl Rising that work in conjunction with one another. It includes the Amina and Yasmin videos, teacher instructions, a student worksheet, country fact sheets about Afghanistan and Egypt, issue fact sheets on Child Marriage and Violence Against Girls and an essay and infographic on Why We Educate Girls.
