1. INTRODUCTION

(i) This is an integrated project assessment comprising activities from all component disciplines
in the Creative Arts and Sports subject (Visual Arts, Performing Arts, and Sports).

(ii) With the guidance of the teacher, learners are required to fully undertake this project, whose
assessment scores will form part of the final summative assessment of the learner in this subject.

(iii) Each Task will be assessed using a given assessment rubric. Learners should be allowed to
access the assessment rubric in order to fully align their activities to the requirements of the task.

2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Your school is organizing an "Intergenerational Exchange Festival" aimed at fostering

connection between different age groups within the community through creative arts and sports.
The event will showcase traditional and contemporary artistic expressions, and highlight the
importance of physical activity across all ages.

You are required to carry out the following four tasks in preparation for the event:

Task 1: Visual Arts

Design and create a series of two (2) relief sculptures (each measuring approximately 30cm x
30cm) depicting different aspects of "Community Heritage" – one focusing on traditional
practices and the other on contemporary life. These sculptures will be part of a collaborative wall
art installation for the festival.

Individually,

(i) Research and conceptualize: Conduct research on local community heritage (e.g., traditional
crafts, storytelling, modern innovations, community gatherings). Explore different materials
suitable for relief sculpture (e.g., cardboard, clay, papier-mâché, mixed media). Make notes and
produce preliminary sketches to conceptualize your two distinct relief sculpture designs. (These
should be placed in your assessment portfolio).

(ii) Create the relief sculptures: Select your chosen materials and techniques. Construct two
relief sculptures, ensuring they clearly depict elements of "Community Heritage" (one
traditional, one contemporary). Focus on creating depth, texture, and clear imagery.

The sculptures should incorporate the following:

(a) Clear representation of traditional and contemporary community heritage.

(b) Effective use of relief techniques (e.g., carving, modeling, layering).

(c) Appropriate use of chosen materials to convey texture and form.

(d) Neatness and appropriate finishing.

Installation: On the "Intergenerational Exchange Festival" day, your completed relief sculptures
will be integrated into a larger collaborative wall art installation to be viewed by attendees.

Task 2: Performing Arts (Music & Dance)

You are required to:

a) Select a traditional Kenyan children's game song/chant and a contemporary popular

Kenyan song.

b) Adapt and arrange both pieces for a combined performance (totaling 3-4 minutes) by a
group of 8-12 members. The arrangement should blend traditional and contemporary elements,
creating a cohesive and engaging performance for diverse age groups. Pay attention to the
following aspects:

(i) Musical arrangement: Creative adaptation of melodies and rhythms, incorporation of

simple harmonies, and dynamic variations.

(ii) Instrumentation: Integration of both traditional (e.g., shakers, drums, bells) and
contemporary (e.g., guitar, keyboard if available, or vocal percussion) instrumental sounds.

(iii) Choreography: Develop fluid and expressive movements that draw from both traditional
dance steps (from the game song) and contemporary dance styles, ensuring synchrony and stage
presence.

(iv) Vocal quality: Clear diction, strong vocal projection, and a balanced vocal blend.

c) Prepare a detailed performance brief outlining:

(i) The origin and cultural significance of the traditional game song/chant.

(ii) The theme and message of the contemporary song.

(iii) How the two pieces are blended to create an "intergenerational" connection.

(iv) Description of the instrumental choices, choreography, and costume/prop concepts.

d) Take a lead role in rehearsing the group, demonstrating strong leadership in teaching and
refining both musical and dance elements.

e) Ensure the group's performance exhibits:

(i) High level of energy and expressiveness.

(ii) Cohesion and synchronized performance.

(iii) Audience engagement through eye contact and stage presence. (iv) Authentic representation
of cultural elements and contemporary interpretation.
Perform: Present your integrated musical and dance performance to the audience during the
"Intergenerational Exchange Festival" to entertain and bridge generational gaps through art.

Task 3: Performing Arts (Theatre)

You are required to:

(i) Brainstorm in groups to generate original ideas for a short dramatic scene (3-5 minutes) that
explores a common challenge faced by either youth or elders in the community, and suggests a
solution through intergenerational understanding.

(ii) Individually write a short script for your dramatic scene. The script should feature 2-3
characters and include dialogue, stage directions, and a clear resolution.

(iii) Work with 1-2 peers to rehearse and perform your scene. Focus on developing realistic
characters and conveying emotions effectively.

Your scene presentation will focus on:

(a) Character development: Believable portrayal of characters through vocal inflection, body
language, and facial expressions.

(b) Dialogue delivery: Clear articulation, appropriate pacing, and conveying the meaning and
emotion of the lines.

(c) Blocking and movement: Purposeful and effective use of stage space to enhance the
narrative.

(d) Thematic clarity: Successful communication of the challenge and the intergenerational
solution.

(e) Audience engagement: Ability to capture and hold the audience's attention.

Perform: Present your short dramatic scene to the audience during the "Intergenerational
Exchange Festival," fostering empathy and dialogue between generations.

Task 4: Sports

Learners are required to organize and officiate a small-scale, adapted sports activity suitable
for mixed age groups (e.g., walking football, modified netball, or a traditional game like 'boda
boda' or 'kati'). The task requires learners to work in small teams of between 5 and 7 members
to:

a) Research and plan the adapted sport: Research the chosen sport, understanding its basic
rules and how it can be modified to be inclusive and safe for participants of varying ages and
abilities. Plan the activity, including necessary equipment, rules, and a simple scoring system.

b) Develop a training routine/warm-up: Create and demonstrate a safe and effective warm-up
routine (5-7 minutes) specifically designed to prepare participants of different age groups for
your chosen adapted sports activity. Explain the physiological benefits of each exercise.
c) Officiate and manage the activity: During the festival, lead a brief demonstration of the
adapted sport. Then, manage a small, friendly game session (10-15 minutes), demonstrating fair
play, clear communication, and effective officiating skills. Ensure all participants feel
encouraged and included.

d) Promote sports safety and first aid: Discuss and present at least three essential safety
precautions for the chosen sport and demonstrate basic knowledge of common sports injuries and
immediate first aid responses (e.g., RICE method for sprains).

e) Reflect and evaluate: Individually reflect on the success of your adapted sports activity in
engaging mixed age groups. Evaluate your team's collaboration in planning and execution, and
analyze how well you applied principles of inclusivity, safety, and sportsmanship. Document
your reflections.

Facilitate: During the "Intergenerational Exchange Festival," your team will facilitate your
adapted sports activity, promoting active lifestyles and fostering positive interaction among
participants of all ages.

 Read the passage below and then answer questions 1 to 6.

Trees are essential for life on Earth. They are often called the lungs of the planet because
they absorb carbon dioxide, a gas harmful to us, and release oxygen, which is vital for all
living beings to breathe. This process helps to clean the air we breathe and maintain a healthy
atmosphere.

Beyond air purification, trees play a crucial role in regulating climate. Their leaves release
water vapour, which cools the air and can even influence rainfall patterns. They also provide
shade, reducing the need for air conditioning in buildings, which saves energy. Trees are also
natural barriers against strong winds and help prevent soil erosion by holding the soil together
with their roots.

Furthermore, trees are home to countless species of animals, insects, and birds, contributing to
biodiversity. They provide us with wood for construction, fuel, and paper. Many fruits, nuts,
and medicinal plants also come from trees. Protecting our forests and planting more trees is not
just good for the environment; it is also good for our well-being and the future of our planet.
1. According to the passage, why are trees called "the 4. The expression "vital for all living beings" as used in
lungs of the planet"? the passage means
A. Because they have many branches. A. not important for living things.
B. Because they absorb carbon dioxide and release B. necessary for life to continue.

C. Because they are very tall. D. useful for making medicine.
D. Because they provide shade. 5. Which word in the passage means the same as
2. One way trees help in regulating climate is by "important"?

B. causing strong winds. 6. Which one of the following would be the best title for
C. releasing water vapour. this passage?
D. increasing soil erosion. A. The Benefits of Trees
3. Which one of the following statements is true B. How Trees Grow
according to the passage? C. Animals in Forests
A. Trees have no effect on rainfall. D. Types of Wood
B. Trees only provide wood for fuel.
C. Many animals live in trees.
D. Planting trees is only good for the environment.
Read the passage below and then answer questions 7 to 11.

Laughter is a powerful tool for our well-being. It is a natural response to humour and can bring
about many positive changes in our bodies and minds. When we laugh, our bodies release
endorphins, which are natural feel-good chemicals. These chemicals promote an overall sense of
well-being and can even temporarily relieve pain.

Beyond the internal benefits, laughter is a great way to connect with others. Sharing a laugh
creates a bond and can improve relationships. It helps to reduce stress and can lighten even the
most serious situations. A good laugh can relax our muscles, improve blood circulation, and even
boost our immune system, making us less prone to illness.

So, next time you feel stressed or down, try to find something that makes you laugh. Watch a
funny video, read a comic strip, or spend time with friends who make you smile. Incorporating
more laughter into your daily life can be a simple yet effective way to improve your health and
happiness.

Read the passage below and then answer questions 12 to 16.

The invention of the wheel is considered one of humanity's greatest achievements. Before its
invention, people had to carry heavy loads or drag them across the ground, which was incredibly
difficult and time-consuming. The wheel changed everything, making transportation much easier
and more efficient.

Early wheels were likely solid discs made of wood. Over time, they evolved into lighter, spooked
designs that were more durable and efficient. The impact of the wheel extended beyond
transportation. It was adapted for use in pottery, where it revolutionized the creation of clay
vessels. It also played a key role in the development of machinery, enabling the creation of
gears and other complex mechanisms that powered mills and factories.

Today, the wheel is still fundamental to modern life. It's in our cars, bicycles, trains, and
airplanes, facilitating global movement. It's also found in countless everyday objects, from
office chairs to shopping carts. The simple yet ingenious design of the wheel continues to shape
our world, demonstrating how a single invention can have a profound and lasting impact on human
progress.

carrying heavy loads was
A. very easy. B. not possible.
C. extremely hard. D. very fast.
13. Which one of the following was an early use of the
wheel, according to the passage?
A. Powering airplanes B. Creating clay vessels
C. Designing buildings D. Generating electricity
14. The word "durable" as used in the passage means
the same as
A. weak. B. breakable. C. long-lasting. D. heavy.
15. According to the passage, the wheel's design is
described as ingenious, meaning it is
A. very complex. B. difficult to understand.
C. clever and original. D. easily forgotten.
16. The wheel is still fundamental to modern life

Reading stories aloud to children is a truly wonderful and enriching

activity. It's not just a way to 26 time, but a powerful tool for
their development. When we read to children, we introduce them to a
world of words, expanding their 27 and improving their language
skills. They learn new vocabulary and how sentences are structured,
which is a great 28 for future reading and writing.

Beyond language, reading aloud stimulates a child's imagination. As

they listen, they create mental images of the characters, settings,
and events, fostering creativity. It also helps to develop their
attention span and listening skills, which are crucial for learning in
school. Storytelling can also be a way to teach children about
different cultures, emotions, and life lessons, helping them to 29
empathy and understanding.

Furthermore, reading together creates a special bond between the child

and the reader. It's a quiet, shared moment that builds a sense of
closeness and security. Children often look 30 to these reading times,
making it a positive and enjoyable experience. So, whether it's before
bed or during a quiet afternoon, picking 31 a book and reading aloud
is one of the most valuable gifts you can 32 to a child. It helps them
to 33, learn, and imagine, setting them on a path 34 lifelong
discovery and a love for reading. It is indeed a 35 habit to
encourage.

26. A. waste B. pass C. spend D. enjoy

27. A. toys B. minds C. world D. horizons
28. A. preparation B. challenge C. problem D. gift
29. A. lose B. forget C. develop D. avoid
30. A. at B. after C. up D. forward

TASK 2: ORAL LITERATURE

Long, long ago, in a land where the sun kissed the plains, there lived a proud Lion and a clever Jackal.
Lion, the king of the jungle, ruled with a loud roar and immense power, often taking whatever he
wanted. Jackal, small but cunning, always had a trick up his sleeve.

One dry season, food became scarce. Lion grew weak and hungry. Jackal, seeing his chance,
approached Lion. "Oh, mighty King," he began, bowing low, "I know of a hidden valley, rich with
game, but it's a place only wisdom can open."

Lion, desperate for food, agreed. "Lead the way, little Jackal, and a share of the feast shall be yours!"

Jackal led Lion to a narrow cave entrance. "King, to enter this valley, one must roar their hunger to the
spirits of the land," Jackal explained. "Your roar, so magnificent, will surely open the path."

Lion, proud and eager, let out a thunderous roar. The sound echoed through the cave, causing a
rockslide that trapped him inside. Jackal, having foreseen this, quickly slipped away before the entrance
sealed completely. He then went to the other animals and warned them of Lion's hunger and the danger
he posed. The other animals, grateful, shared their food with Jackal, while Lion eventually found a way
out, humbled but much thinner. This is the end of my tale.

TASK 3: POETRY

3. Read the poem below and then answer the questions that follow. (5 marks)

The Journey of a Dream

A dream was born one silent night,

Beneath the stars, so pure and bright.
It fluttered soft on wings of air,
A whisper bold, a hope laid bare.

It drifted past the hills and trees,

Carried gently by the breeze.
Through city streets and fields of green,
It searched for places never seen.

It knocked on windows fast asleep,

Where secrets lie and wishes keep.
It danced through minds both young and old,
A silent story yet untold.

It found a child with eyes so wide,

And curled up softly by her side.
It showed her skies she’d never flown,
And lands where courage stands alone.

She saw a mountain tall and steep,

A place that called her from her sleep.
The dream said, “Climb, and you shall see,
The strength you hold inside of thee.”

Through storm and wind, she made her way,

With heart that would not break or sway.
Though paths were hard and nights were long,
Her dream kept singing loud and strong.
At last she reached the mountain’s crest,
And stood with pride and beating chest.
The dream beside her softly said,
“You found the light within your head.”

The stars then danced around her feet,

The wind and sky began to meet.
The dream took flight into the blue,
To seek another heart that’s true.

For dreams, you see, are never still—

They move with hope and stubborn will.
They bloom where faith and effort grow,
And shine in hearts that dare to go.

So if a dream knocks at your door,

Don’t turn away or ask for more.
Hold tight its hand, begin the climb—
For dreams arrive in perfect time.

Act Three

Scene Two

A dimly lit community hall. CHAIRPERSON MWIKALI is at the podium, looking weary. SEVERAL
VILLAGERS are scattered in the seats, some murmuring, others looking frustrated. A young woman, RAHMA,
stands up.

RAHMA: Chairperson, we’ve been discussing the water shortage for hours. We need action, not just words!
Our crops are dying, and our children are thirsty.
 CHAIRPERSON MWIKALI: (Raises a hand, trying to calm the crowd) I understand your frustration,
Rahma. Believe me, I do. We have tried everything. The well has run dry, and the nearest river is miles away.

VILLAGER 1: (Shouts) But what about the government funds? What happened to the project to dig a new
borehole?

CHAIRPERSON MWIKALI: (Sighs) The funds were delayed, and the drilling equipment broke down. We
are doing our best, but resources are scarce.

RAHMA: (Steps forward confidently) Perhaps we don't need to wait for outside help. My grandmother always
spoke of an ancient underground spring, hidden near the old baobab tree. It’s hard to find, but it never dries up.

VILLAGER 2: (Scoffs) An old legend! We need real solutions, Rahma!

RAHMA: (Firmly) Sometimes, ancient wisdom holds the real solutions. If we work together, with our own
hands and knowledge, we can find it. Who is with me? (Slowly, some villagers look at each other, then begin to
nod in agreement.)

TASK 5: NOVELLA

5. Read the section of a novella below and then answer the questions that follow. (10 marks)

The air in the old, forgotten library was thick with the scent of aging paper and dust. Twelve-year-old
Leo pushed open a creaky wooden door, revealing shelves upon shelves of books, some crumbling,
others surprisingly well-preserved. His grandmother, a historian, had always spoken of a hidden room
here, a place of profound knowledge.

"Are you sure this is it, Grandma?" Leo whispered, his voice echoing in the vast silence. He held a dim
lantern, its light dancing on the spines of forgotten tales.
 His grandmother, Mama Asha, adjusted her glasses, her eyes gleaming with anticipation. "The old
manuscripts spoke of a chamber of enlightenment, young one. A place where the past whispers its
secrets." She pointed to a faded inscription above a particularly heavy-looking book. "Only a heart open
to discovery can unlock its mysteries."

Leo touched the inscription, a strange warmth spreading through his fingers. Suddenly, a section of the
bookshelf slowly rotated inwards, revealing a narrow passage. Beyond it, a soft, ethereal glow
emanated. Leo looked at Mama Asha, his eyes wide with wonder. "It... it opened!"

Mama Asha smiled, a wise and gentle expression. "Indeed. The journey into knowledge often begins
with a single step, and an open heart. Shall we enter, Leo?" Leo nodded, his heart thumping with
excitement as they stepped into the glowing passage, ready to uncover the library's deepest secrets.

(a) What is the setting of the story? (2 marks)

Vijana wengi siku hizi wanavutiwa na matumizi ya mitandao ya kijamii. Kuanzia asubuhi wanapoamka hadi usiku
wanapokwenda kulala, simu zao zimegandishwa mikononi. Ni jambo la kawaida kuwaona vijana wakitembea
barabarani huku wakitazama skrini za simu zao, bila kujali mazingira yao. Wengine hata huenda mbali zaidi kwa
kurekodi matukio hatari na kuyasambaza mitandaoni kwa lengo la kutafuta umaarufu.

Matumizi ya kupindukia ya mitandao hii yameleta madhara makubwa kwa jamii. Kwanza, vijana wengi wameacha
kusoma vitabu na kujishughulisha na masomo yao. Matokeo yake, viwango vya elimu vimeporomoka, na wengi
wamekosa maarifa muhimu yanayohitajika kwa maisha yao ya baadaye. Pili, uhusiano wa kifamilia umedhoofika.
Vijana wanapendelea kuzungumza na marafiki zao mtandaoni badala ya kuwasiliana na wazazi au ndugu zao. Hali
hii imepelekea mawimbi ya ukimya katika familia nyingi.

Tatu, afya ya akili ya vijana imeathirika. Wengi wanateseka kutokana na unyogovu na wasiwasi wanapojilinganisha
na maisha bandia wanayoona mtandaoni. Shinikizo la kuonyesha maisha ya kifahari na mafanikio, hata kama si ya
kweli, linawafanya vijana wengi kukosa furaha na kuridhika na hali zao. Aidha, visa vya uonevu mtandaoni, ambapo
watu huwekana chini na kutukanana, vimeongezeka, na kuwaacha wahasiriwa wengi na majeraha ya kudumu.

Hata hivyo, hatuwezi kukana kuwa mitandao ya kijamii ina manufaa yake. Inaweza kutumika kama jukwaa la
kujifunza, kutoa habari muhimu, na kuunganisha watu kutoka sehemu mbalimbali za dunia. Biashara nyingi pia
zimefanikiwa kutokana na matumizi ya mitandao hii katika kutangaza bidhaa zao.

Ni muhimu kwa wazazi, walimu, na jamii kwa ujumla kuwashauri vijana kuhusu matumizi sahihi ya mitandao ya
kijamii. Wanapaswa kufahamu kuwa kila jambo lina pande mbili, na ni busara kutumia teknolojia hii kwa faida na
kuepuka madhara yake. Kumbuka, akili ni nywele, kila mtu ana zake, lakini busara ni muhimu.

1. Kulingana na aya ya kwanza, ni kweli kuwa:

A. Vijana hucheza michezo ya simu wanapoamka asubuhi.
B. Vijana wengi hupenda kuonyesha mazingira yao mtandaoni.
C. Vijana hutumia muda mwingi kutazama skrini za simu.
D. Vijana hupata umaarufu kwa kurekodi matukio ya hatari.
2. Kwa mujibu wa kifungu, mojawapo ya athari za matumizi mabaya ya mitandao ya kijamii ni:
A. Vijana huongea na wazazi wao kwa kutumia simu.
B. Wazazi huwagandamiza watoto wao.
C. Mahusiano katika familia yamedhoofika.
D. Ndugu wameacha kuwasiliana kabisa.
3. Methali, akili ni nywele, kila mtu ana zake, ina maana gani kulingana na kifungu?
A. Kila mtu ana akili yake na anaweza kufanya maamuzi sahihi.
B. Watu wote wana nywele ndefu.
C. Maarifa yanategemea nywele.
D. Busara ni muhimu zaidi kuliko akili
4. .Kurejelea aya ya tatu, ni ipi kati ya zifuatazo si 6. Neno, mawimbi ya ukimya limetumika katika
athari ya mitandao ya kijamii kwa afya ya akili? kifungu. Chagua maana yake sahihi.
A. Unyogovu. A. Kelele nyingi.
B. Furaha na kuridhika. B. Ukosefu wa mawasiliano.
C. Shinikizo la kuonyesha maisha bandia. C. Migogoro ya kifamilia.
D. Kuongezeka kwa uonevu mtandaoni. D. Sauti za chini.
5. Bainisha faida moja ya mitandao ya kijamii
iliyotajwa katika kifungu.
A. Husaidia vijana kupata ajira.
B. Huunganisha watu kutoka maeneo mbalimbali.
C. Huwafanya watu kuwa na maisha ya kifahari.
D. Hupunguza idadi ya magonjwa ya akili.
 Soma kifungu kifuatacho kisha ujibu swali la 7 hadi la 12.

Mbuni na Kasuku walikuwa marafiki wa dhati. Walitumia muda mwingi pamoja wakicheza na kutafuta chakula.
Mbuni alijivunia uwezo wake wa kukimbia kwa kasi isiyo ya kawaida, huku Kasuku akijivunia uwezo wake wa
kuongea na kuiga sauti mbalimbali. Ingawa walikuwa na uwezo tofauti, walithaminiana na kusaidiana.

Siku moja, walitembelea soko la wanyama. Soko hilo lilikuwa na vitu vingi vya kuvutia. Palikuwa na tunda adimu na
tamu lililoitwa ‘Mbuyu-matamu’, ambalo lilikuwa likiuzwa kwa bei ghali. Mbuni alitamani sana tunda hilo lakini
hakuwa na pesa. Kasuku naye alishauri Mbuni watumie uwezo wao kulipata. Mbuni alikubali kwa shingo upande.

Kasuku alimwambia Mbuni ambebe begani mwake na wakimbie kwa kasi kuelekea kibanda cha matunda.
"Nitakapokuambia, chukua tunda hilo," Kasuku alisema. Walipokaribia kibanda, Kasuku alipiga kelele, "Chukua
sasa!" Mbuni akanyoosha shingo yake ndefu na kung'oa tunda moja kubwa. Walikimbia kwa kasi huku wakiwa
wamefurahia 'mafanikio' yao.

Wakiwa njiani kurejea nyumbani, Kasuku alishauri waonje tunda hilo. Waliligawanya na kila mmoja akala kipande
chake. Kilikuwa kitamu ajabu! Walisahau kabisa kuwa walikuwa wameiba. Furaha yao haikudumu sana, kwani
ghafla walisikia kelele za muuza matunda akiwafuata. Muuza matunda alikuwa amewatambua na alikuwa amewapiga
kelele.

Mbuni alijaribu kukimbia kwa kasi yake yote, lakini alikuwa amedhoofishwa na utamu wa tunda. Kasuku naye
alijaribu kuruka lakini hakuweza kwani alikuwa amemezwa na tamaa. Mwishowe, Mbuni alikamatwa na muuza
matunda. Kasuku alifanikiwa kutoroka na kuruka mbali. Muuza matunda alimwadhibu Mbuni vikali kwa kosa la
wizi. Tangu siku hiyo, Mbuni na Kasuku hawajawahi kuwa marafiki tena. Mbuni kila anapomwona Kasuku
humkimbiza kwa hasira.

7. Chagua jibu linaloonyesha uhusiano wa Mbuni na 11. Matukio yafuatayo yalitokea katika kifungu.

 Soma kifungu kifuatacho kisha ujibu swali la 13 hadi la 17.

Mila na desturi za jamii zetu nchini Kenya zimekuwa zikipungua thamani yake kwa kasi ya ajabu. Hapo awali, mila
hizi zilikuwa nguzo muhimu za kuunganisha jamii, kutoa mwongozo wa maisha, na kurithisha vizazi vijavyo
maadili mema. Hata hivyo, kutokana na mabadiliko ya kiteknolojia na ushawishi wa tamaduni za kigeni, vijana
wengi wameacha kufuata nyayo za wazee wao.

Katika jamii nyingi, vijana wameacha kufahamu lugha zao za asili. Wanapendelea kuzungumza lugha za kigeni au
lugha mseto zinazowafanya washindwe kuwasiliana vema na wazee wao. Hali hii imeleta pengo kubwa la
mawasiliano kati ya vizazi. Pia, tamaduni za ngoma na nyimbo za asili zimepoteza umaarufu. Vijana huona ngoma za
kisasa za "hip hop" na "gengetone" kuwa za kuvutia zaidi kuliko nyimbo za jadi zenye ujumbe mzito.

Mavazi pia yamebadilika. Mavazi ya asili ambayo yalikuwa na maana na hadhi katika jamii, sasa yamekuwa
yakitumiwa kama vazi la burudani tu, au hata kupuuzwa kabisa. Vijana wanapendelea mavazi ya kigeni
yasiyozingatia mila na maadili ya jamii zao. Hali hii imepelekea mmomonyoko wa utambulisho wa kitamaduni.

Sherehe za jadi, kama vile harusi na mazishi, nazo zimepoteza uzito wake. Badala ya kufanywa kwa kufuata itifaki za
jadi na ushirikiano wa jamii nzima, sasa zimekuwa zikifanywa kwa mtindo wa kisasa, ambapo watu huajiri watoa
huduma wa kisasa na kupuuza ushiriki wa wazee. Hali hii huondoa roho ya kijamii na umuhimu wa sherehe hizo.

Ni muhimu kwa jamii zetu kujitahidi kuhifadhi mila na desturi zao. Hii haimaanishi kuzuia maendeleo, bali ni
kuunganisha mila na maendeleo. Wazee wanapaswa kuwa tayari kuwafundisha vijana umuhimu wa mila, na vijana
wanapaswa kuwa na shauku ya kujifunza na kuzienzi. Ni kwa njia hii tu tunaweza kuhakikisha kuwa utamaduni wetu
unabaki hai na kurithishwa kwa vizazi vijavyo.

2. Soma hadithi ifuatayo kisha ujibu maswali.

Hapo zamani za kale, katika kijiji cha Bonde la Amani, kulikuwa na binti mmoja mjanja sana aitwaye Neema. Neema
alijulikana kwa akili yake kali na uwezo wake wa kutatua matatizo magumu. Alipendwa na wote kijijini.

Siku moja, kijiji kilikumbwa na tatizo kubwa. Mto uliokuwa ukiwapatia maji ulikuwa umekauka ghafla. Watu
walikuwa na wasiwasi mkubwa, wakihofia njaa na ukame. Viongozi wa kijiji walijaribu kila njia, lakini hakuna
suluhisho lililopatikana. Waliamua kumwendea Neema kuomba msaada.

Neema alifikiria kwa muda, kisha akawambia wanakijiji, "Nataka kila mmoja wenu achukue jiwe dogo na kulileta
kando ya mto." Wanakijiji walishangaa, lakini walikubali. Kila mtu alileta jiwe lake. Neema aliwaelekeza wajenge
ukuta mdogo kwa kutumia mawe hayo, kuanzia chanzo cha mto kuelekea kijijini. Wanakijiji walifanya hivyo,
wakishirikiana na kufanya kazi kwa bidii.

Kadiri walivyojenga ukuta, ndivyo maji kidogo yaliyokuwa yamejificha chini ya ardhi yalivyoanza kujikusanya nyuma
ya ukuta huo. Taratibu, maji yalianza kuonekana, yakitiririka polepole kuelekea kijijini. Baada ya siku chache, mto
ulikuwa umeanza kujaza tena, na maji yalikuwa yakitiririka kwa wingi.

3. Soma sehemu ifuatayo ya novela kisha ujibu maswali.

Jua lilizama polepole nyuma ya vilima, likiacha anga likiwa limepakwa rangi za machweo. Nyumbani kwa Bibi
Salama, taa ya mafuta ilikuwa ikiwaka kwa unyonge, ikimwangazia Juma alipokuwa akijaribu kusoma vitabu vyake.
Juma alikuwa mtoto yatima, aliyekuwa akilelewa na bibi yake mzee. Licha ya umaskini wao, Bibi Salama alihakikisha
Juma anapata elimu. Aliamini kuwa elimu ndiyo urithi pekee wa kweli.

Juma alikuwa mwanafunzi mwenye akili sana, lakini shuleni, alikabiliwa na changamoto. Baadhi ya wanafunzi
walimdhihaki kwa sare zake chakavu na viatu vyake vilivyochoka. Hali hii ilimuumiza sana, na mara nyingi alihisi
aibu. Alitamani angekuwa na uwezo wa kununua sare mpya na vitabu vipya kama wenzake.

Siku moja, Juma alishiriki katika mashindano ya insha ya kitaifa. Alijitahidi sana, akitumia muda mwingi utafiti na
kuandika. Alitumia uzoefu wake wa maisha na ndoto zake za baadaye kuandika insha yenye kugusa moyo. Alishinda
shindano hilo, na habari zikaenea kote nchini.

Ushindi wa Juma ulibadilisha maisha yake. Alipata udhamini kamili wa masomo, na familia yake ilipokea msaada
kutoka kwa jamii. Wanafunzi waliokuwa wakimdhihaki sasa walimheshimu na kumwomba ushauri. Juma alijifunza
kuwa vipaji na bidii huweza kushinda umaskini na dharau. Alielewa kuwa thamani ya mtu haipimwi kwa mali,
bali kwa uwezo wake wa kujitahidi na kutimiza ndoto zake.

Mwalimu Mkuu: (Kwa sauti ya mamlaka) Habari zenu wanafunzi wangu wa Gredi ya Saba!

Wanafunzi: (Kwa sauti moja na nidhamu) Nzuri sana Mwalimu Mkuu!

Mwalimu Mkuu: Nimeitisha mkutano huu kuzungumza nanyi kuhusu mtihani wenu wa mwisho. Huu si mtihani wa
kawaida, ni hatua muhimu katika safari yenu ya elimu.

Mwajuma: (Akinyosha mkono) Mwalimu Mkuu, tuna wasiwasi sana. Mtihani unaonekana mgumu.

Mwalimu Mkuu: (Akitabasamu) Mwajuma, ni kawaida kuwa na wasiwasi. Lakini kumbukeni, Kizuri chajiuza, kibaya
chajitembeza. Mkijiandaa vizuri, mtapita kwa urahisi. Msihofu. Nawaamini.

Juma: Lakini Mwalimu Mkuu, tunapaswa kusoma kwa muda gani kila siku?

Mwalimu Mkuu: Juma, hakuna muda maalum. Muhimu ni kuelewa mnachosoma. Panga muda wako vizuri, ulale vya
kutosha, na kula vizuri. Pia, msishirikiane katika udanganyifu. Udanganyifu ni adui mkubwa wa elimu.

Rehema: (Kwa ujasiri) Tumejifunza mengi kutoka kwenu walimu. Tutaweka bidii zetu zote.

Mwalimu Mkuu: Hongereni sana Rehema. Hiyo ndiyo roho tunayotaka kuona. Kujiamini na kujitahidi. Kumbukeni,
mnajenga mustakabali wenu wenyewe. Shule hii inawategemea nyinyi.

Na Elvis Alukwe

Wenzenu tu jukwaani, na huzuni chungu nzima

Eti wale wa zamani, tabia likuwa njema
Jamii yajiuliza, wako wapi kama hao?

Yao lugha ilifana, nzuri yenye itikadi

Lugha va heshima sana, Kiswahili walinadi
Na hawakutukanana, lugha mufti ilizidi
Jamii yajiuliza, wako wapi kama hao?
Wenye umoja shuleni, kwa pamoja lishikana
Hata mgonjwa kwa bweni, lisaidiwa bayana
Na mwanafunzi mgeni, lisaidika kwa sana
Jamii yajiuliza, wako wapi kama hao?

Nguo nadhifu livaa, vyema walijisitiri

Shuleni na waling'aa, usafi walihubiri
Hawakuvaa mawaa, zao sare lishamiri
Jamii yajiuliza, wako wapi kama hao?

Mefika wakati wetu, wanasema twenda kombo

Tabia mekuwa mwitu, twazamisha chetu chombo
Maadili tele kutu, twachafua yetu nembo
Jamii yajiuliza, wako wapi kama hao?

Ni wapi tuliteleza, kizazi kikapotoka?

Walimu tunawabeza, jamii imetuchoka
Ni sisi twajiumiza, tujaribu rekebika
Jamii yajiuliza, wako wapi kama hao?

Hizi fununu zikome, wanafunzi tuamke

Tusafishe zetu ngome, walimu tuwapulike
