Rollercoasters: Iqbal Reader

Autor Francesco D'Adamo
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 feb 2009
For Fatima, Maria and the other unseen children of Hussain Khan's carpet factory, Iqbal Masih's arrival is both the end of hope and its beginning. It is Iqbal who tells them that their family's debt will never be cancelled, no matter how many inches of progress they make in their rugs, no matter how neat their knots or how perfect the pattern they weave. But it is also Iqbal who is brave enough to talk about the future, to plan their escape - and to encourage thechildren to stand together against their master's injustice. Who promises Fatima that next spring they are going to fly a kite 'whatever happens.'Based on a true story, this is a poignant and lyrical novel about child labour and human rights issues.

Recenzii

Eye-opening, genuinely touching novel
If you want a short but inspiring book, try 'Iqbal' based on a true story. It is about child labour and alerts students to conditions of children in other cultures and how we as consumers contribute to their plight. Lots of opportunities for debate, research, writing to MPs etc. as well as all the reading skills.
I thought you might be interested in how I am using Iqbal with a small group of year 9 boys, most of whom have some form of need, such as dyslexia and EAL. They are loving reading Iqbal, to the extent that one or two who would never volunteer to read usually are putting hands up at the start of the Iqbal lesson and asking to be the first to read. I have one boy in the class who has been educated in Pakistan till recently and he loves being the centre of attention while he fills us in with background. I regularly get asked if today is Iqbal day.
