Both are very "red" anarchists; neither addresses "green" anarchism in their intros, and Kropotkin is dismissive towards market socialist forms of anarchism.
Two articles on anarchist history I like and you may find useful:
Anarchist Unionism: A Forgotten but Glorious History: a summary of anarchist labor movements across the world. Anarchism was the major revolutionary ideology in the world prior to the Russian Revolution, and anarchists organized and led many of the world's major labor unions.
Towards a History of Anarchist Anti-imperialism: A short overview of the some of the anarchist anti-imperialist movements, like Kim Chwajin and the Korean Anarchist Federation's uprising against Japan, anarchism's predominance in the Mexican Revolution, and others. A longer read going off this might be Anarchism and Syndicalism in the Colonial and Post-Colonial World.
I'm a student, but my teacher kept talking about anarchism as if it was simply the most barbaric, unorganized form of political theory. I talked to him about it and he told me if I wanted, I could make a teaching material for him to use and teach the class about actual anarchism. I'm in eighth grade, so unfortunately I have to boil down anarchism to it's skeletal, simplest form. Since it's such a nuanced conversation I'm having a hard time. I'm trying to ensure my class understands that it's not just anti-state!
Anarchy by Malatesta.
It really doesn’t get much better than that when it comes to short introductory anarchist essays.
Fully agree. Short, fantastic, and brimming with ideas. Could teach a whole lesson on one paragraph.

If you want a short intro, then some of Goldman's and/or Kropotkin's essays might be a good starting-point:

I always recommend the introductory topic on the library, which currently has 285 texts listed:
https://theanarchistlibrary.org/category/topic/introductory
Within that topic, I would recommend:

"The State is Counterrevolutionary," by Daniel Baryon. https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/anark-the-state-is-counter-revolutionary
"'Read On Authority'," by JudgeSabo. https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/judgesabo-read-on-authority
These texts are rather lengthy; reading them requires multiple days. But it's completely worth it.
anarchism.crd.co gives a pretty good overview that might be what ur looking for
Are you a teacher or a student?
"Another Brick In The Wall" is good, I watched it while in teacher's college while on shrooms.

That is good to hear.
Here is one that may work, it is a two-side, three-paneled flyer.

If you don't print it, you read it on the bottom page left to right, then the top page left to right and then you are at the cover.
Some other leads here. The first comment recommends the flyer linked above, and then there is discussion on it, then there are other links recommended.
