    RED 512: WEEK #5

    THE IMMIGRANT EXPERIENCE


    Imagine like it is your story
    “My first day of school was the worst day of school because I don’t even know anyone, and
    I don’t know what to do. It is hard for me to do everything in school and find the classroom.
    It is hard to ask questions because I don’t know anybody, and I don’t understand the
    language. I was afraid because everything here was different from where I lived in. I was
    bored in class because I don’t have any friends to talk to and have anyone to sit with. It was
    the worst day of school. I don’t even where I have to eat but even if I know it I will not
    know how to get it and what should I take or not.
    I feel like I don't fit in because it is hard to find help when you don’t know the language. I
    also feel like I’m a stranger to this country. Sometimes I met with some of the students if
    they talk good things about me or not because I don’t understand the language. But my
    first week was still the same..."

    Please share one sentence to the chat about how do you feel.

    Writing reflection
    Expressions from Immigrant S
    tudents
    ‘One day I notice that people understand what I say.’
    ‘It hard to find help when you don’t know the language.’
    ‘In time, I lost the fear when speaking, and I understood.’
    ‘Everyday after school I go to library to read the books and get in better in English.’
    ‘Some of the teachers helped me a lot and for that I will be grateful.’
    ‘I used the computer to help me speak English more.’
    “Feeling being different”
    “You must study hard to show you are a good Korean.”
    Juxtaposing Immigrant and Adolescent Girl
    Experiences: Literature for All Readers-Stewart 2012
    • “Studies show that adolescent immigrant girls are far too exposed
    to literature that does not validate their identities nor mirror their
    lived experiences”
    • “A good book for youth is one that they are able to respond to
    intimately based on their own life experiences”- Rosenblatt
    • “Adolescent immigrant girls need to read books that mirror their
    own experiences to negotiate the rocky paths they walk of being
    an adolescent girl and being an immigrant”.
    • “All students should be able to connect with texts in meaningful
    ways, and it is our job as educators to mediate that connection.
    Our main responsibility is to help the student to find the right book
    for growth”

    Small Group Discussion
    American Street makes connections between a
    search for one’s identity as it relates to race and the
    American dream. What do you think about Fabiola's
    story?
    What kind of things did you notice about Fabiola's
    story throughout the book?
    Considering Stewarts' article and this week’s books
    think about;
    How can we use these literature texts as
    transformative tools?
