The boy at the back of the class raises his hand and asks, “Can you please summarize what happened in chapters 1 to 3?”
The teacher smiles and begins to explain, “In chapter 1, we are introduced to the main character, Ahmet, who is a refugee from Syria. He has recently joined a new school in London, and the story is narrated from the perspective of one of his classmates. Ahmet is very quiet and doesn’t speak much English, which makes it difficult for him to make friends.
In chapter 2, the narrator and his friends try to befriend Ahmet by offering him a seat at their lunch table. They learn that Ahmet loves football and is a talented player. However, some of the other students in the class are not as welcoming and make fun of Ahmet’s accent and background.
Chapter 3 focuses on Ahmet’s first day in class. The teacher, Mrs. Khan, introduces him to the class and encourages everyone to be kind and understanding towards him. She explains that Ahmet has been through a lot and that they should make him feel welcome. The narrator and his friends try to include Ahmet in their activities, but some students continue to tease and bully him.
Overall, these chapters highlight the challenges Ahmet faces as a refugee and the importance of empathy and acceptance in the classroom. It also shows the power of friendship and how small acts of kindness can make a big difference in someone’s life.”
