STORYTELLER SPEACH

In this section I am going to talk about this amazing speach by Andrew Wright. If you had never listen to him I am going to put the speach link below. I recomend you to hear him!!!!

As you can hear him in his speach, 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.

As we can read in his biography, Andy's early life was deeply affected by having a blind mother, blind grandmother and blind great grandmother, all of whom told stories in the ancient Celtic tradition. One aspect of Andrew’s storytelling is the ability to paint pictures with words. Andy was influenced and learned to storytell from his visually impaired family members, which lead to a great reliance on his choice and use of words, and the use of a wide range of voice.

When I finish this video I was astonishing. I didn´t think that story telling is as important as it really is in the world.

For example it was unbelieve when Andrew explain to the audience that top managements choose to tell a story to his employees. It is amazing that if you want to move people you must tell stories.

I like the way he engages to the audience and the way that he tells stories and the different ways that you can use it tell stories.  

I never had sown before a story tell with draws and I like the idea and the way he did it. And exploring his life I can see that he wrote a book about how to draw in a blackboard. I want to read it, it could be so useful for us, and we can use this advice to tell stories.

Other think that I like about the way that they tell stories is that he makes the audience participate and it makes the audience pay more attention. 

And in this video I saw different ways to make the audience participle of what are you telling.

A lot of times we don’t make the children participles in storytelling because we think that the teacher is the only tat can tell a story. But I agree with Andrew in that every single think tell us a story including pictures or our haircut. I never realise in the nonverbal language arts and the strong that it could be to everybody. For these reason big brands like MacDonald’s use it in his trademark.

I see his point of view when he tells us that we need stories but not only for fun. With stories we can “do” things we never have do before.

For these reason I appreciate the work that he do giving children the opportunity to tell us a story too. For example in the speech he tells us some stories that was create whit the children or only with his imagination. Because I think that the children are one of the best creation of histories because like he tells we give a children bokes and he can invent a lot of thinks with them but I think that we give the same boxes to an adult and …. Because I think that when we grow up our imagination is disappearing when we get older.

Sometimes we don’t let them tell us a story because we think that they don´t have a properly grammar and vocabulary. But we can see that with his experience it is not happen, for example When a very little children invent the story about two cats. They have very little language but they made what they could with the language that they have.

And sometimes I think that we don´t let them tell stories because we think that it is not going to have sense and it is not going to be deep. But we can see in other example that he gives us how when they have the opportunity to make the end of the story they give a deep ending to the little white cat.

I think that sometimes when we tell to the children a story we don´t know all the inputs that we are giving and we don´t take seriously of it.

But we can see in this speech all the things that we can do to tell a story. It is amazing how they give to tell stories the importance that it really have. When he saw us his story bag with his story hat and story jackets. I think that the dressing u when you are telling a story is so important. You can help to the children to understanding what it is going to happen and you gain his attention and silence successfully.

The stories not only help and improve the language skills. They can allow children to experience diverse cultures, although the stories now a days are changing because of internet and globalization.

But stories can help to promote a feeling of well-being and relaxation, increase children's willingness to communicate thoughts and feelings, encourage active participation, encourage use of imagination and creativity or encourage cooperation between students.

I never saw before story jackets but I like the idea. With it they can invent a lot of histories with you and I like the different textures and sounds that they have for stimulate to the audience.
