Travel the world with
your students
from May 26 to June 27!

Storyteller Andy Wright will be visiting Argentina and Uruguay, sharing exciting stories from different cultures with students in Argentina and Uruguay.

 

Since 2003, Dream On Productions has brought fantastic native English speaking Storytellers to visit schools throughout Latin America. Deborah Unger, a mother says: “All the storytellers who have come to St. Paul's via Dream On have been a great success. I am glad that we have made the link with you and I hope it continues.” - member of the Library Activities Committee, The British School of São Paulo.

The success of these visits lies in the impressive ability of the Storytellers to adapt their stories to different levels of English and different ages. Below are links to story samples BUT bear in mind when listening that Andy adapts to the audience, regulating speed and changing vocabulary to ensure that students understand and interact with the stories.

Listen (Anansi) Listen (The Hobyahs)

Andy was born in Berkshire, England. His early life was deeply affected by having a blind mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, all of whom told stories in the ancient Celtic tradition. His family immigrated to New Zealand where he spent much of his childhood, moving to Australia as an adult. His accent is very clear for English language learners. The more your students listen to native speakers, especially in person, the more they will pick up a good and natural accent and understand the intonation and rhythm of the language.

• A brief introduction to Andy as a storyteller and what it is like to grow up with blind family members.
• 3-4 stories depending on the stories and their length. Each story has a short introduction. Stories are chosen according to the audience's needs. The kind of interaction varies: from clapping and body movement or chanting (Kindergarten) to discussion of English Literature or debate (Secondary).
• Finish with a thank you to the audience and a simple message about the value of stories and reading.

Sessions are held at your school (school auditorium or other multi-purpose room), thereby saving on transport costs, time, and providing the security of staying on campus.

No payment in advance but booking in advance highly recommended.

Please feel free to call us anytime to book Andy or simply ask any questions, we are here to help you. We are experts in Storytelling in Latin America. You´ll be delighted to watch the faces of your students while a Dream On storyteller tells his stories: open mouths, looks of wonder, and shrieks of laughter and comments such as this:

“I would like he can came to my class again, was very funny to have him. I would like to be near him to know that magic that he have on his voice, was like to have a real movie!!!” Cecilia Vasquez - student - Markham College, Peru.
