Summary

• Description:

  The PDF document comprises Bridges Without Rivers and Other Stories Questions and Answers. This valuable resource has been developed by Mwalimu Focus, a reputable name in Kenyan educational content, specifically to aid Grade 8 students in their study of the KICD-approved class reader, "Bridges Without Rivers and Other Stories." It is an essential tool for learners preparing for assessments and for teachers seeking comprehensive materials for instruction.

  This document is systematically structured to provide targeted revision for each story in the anthology. It directly presents a series of questions followed by their detailed answers for each of the seven short stories:

  1. "Game Over" by Nashive Syeunda
  2. "A Good Turn" by Oroni Tendera
  3. "Bridges Without Rivers" by Timothy M. Arege
  4. "Boys' Game" by Gloria Mwaniga
  5. "The Long Walk" by Zeddy Anjia
  6. "Where is Liwan?" by David ole Munke
  7. "Adjoa" by Ama Ata Aidoo

  For each of these stories, the document provides ten structured questions, each carrying a potential of 1 to 3 marks. These questions are carefully designed to test and reinforce the learner's understanding of crucial literary aspects. The specific focus of the questions for each story centers around:

  • Characters: Requiring identification of character traits with textual evidence, understanding character roles (like protagonist and antagonist), and motivations.
  • Themes: Prompting learners to identify and explain the main ideas or messages explored in each narrative.
  • Styles (Literary Devices and Plot): Testing knowledge of stylistic devices (such as metaphor, simile, symbolism, irony, personification), plot structure (like linear or non-linear), point of view, and the significance of specific narrative choices like titles or tone.

  The value of these "Questions and Answers" lies in their direct approach to revision. By providing clear questions along with well-explained answers, Mwalimu Focus equips Grade 8 learners with a practical way to assess their comprehension, identify areas needing more attention, and understand how to formulate precise and high-scoring responses. Teachers will find this resource invaluable for setting assignments, creating class tests, and guiding discussions that focus on key examinable aspects of each story. Parents, too, can confidently use this document to support their child's learning and revision at home, contributing to improved performance.

  The entire document is presented in a neat, easy-to-follow format, making it highly user-friendly and ready for printing.
