As a group of young African immigrants struggles to adapt to life in the United States, an after-school drama program at White Oak Middle School aims to make their lives easier by first making them a little harder.
Project X is a program that uses drama, dance, poetry and other creative outlets to help students discuss the tough and sometimes painful problems they face as pre-teen immigrants with significant language barriers. A final unveiling of their creation will be performed for friends and family at the end of the year at Imagination Stage.
Wanjiru Kamau, coordinator of White Oak’s African Club said it’s important to give troubles to group members to help them find their place at the school. "It comforts those who are uncomfortable, and it discomforts those who are comfortable," Kamau said of Project X.
Kamau teamed up with Imagination Stage after she noticed that many African students seemed uncomfortable talking about problems, such as being laughed at by their fellow students about how they look and talk. When most of the kids join the club, they speak little or no English, Kamau said. Each week, the club typically draws five to 10 students who are originally from Africa for discussion sessions and the Project X program.
"We’re going to express ourselves through our words and our actions, and that’s powerful," said teaching artist Meg Green as she introduced fill-in-the-blank poems the students wrote about their identities.
One student, Franck Ketchouang, 13, wrote, "I am from the world; I am love," which drew oohs and aahs from the group. Ketchouang has been in the United States less than a year, said Program Coordinator Chad Dike. When Ketchouang started attending Project X, he had been in the United States for two months and spoke no English. Now he’s one of the group’s most outgoing members and helps translate instructions from English to Creole for the group’s newest member, who is from Haiti.
Many people will give up when there’s a language barrier, "but these students prove them wrong," Kamau said. "You do have something to give. You are important. When TV, media, etc. are bringing them down, this program is bringing them up." [br] What do we know about the Imagination Stage?
选项
A、It’s established by Kamau for Project X.
B、,It’s operated once at the end of each year.
C、It’s a project designed by White Oak Middle School.
D、It’s a cooperative partner of White Oak’s African Club.
答案
D
解析
该句中的teamed up表明Kamau和“梦想舞台”是合作伙伴,而根据上一段第1句可知Kamau代表着“白橡树中学的非洲俱乐部”,故D正确。只要明白了“梦想舞台”和“白橡树中学的非洲俱乐部”为平等的合作关系,就可以将A和C排除。而虽然第2段提到学生在每年年底才在梦想舞台展示他们的学习成果,但这并不意味着“梦想舞台”每年只用作一次表演,因为它并不光为Project X服务,因此,B不正确。
