Write a short constructed response to answer the following question:

In Nasreen’s Secret School, what is the central message or lesson and how is it conveyed through details in the text?

Nasreen’s Secret School teaches us that some people will take dangerous risks to go to school because learning is very important to them. The text conveys this by describing how Nasreen’s grandmother takes her to a school that is secret because girls aren’t allowed to go to school. It also explains how they hurried to the school because women and girls were forbidden from going outside alone, and it explains they were lucky that no soldiers saw them.
