Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to join us

on SUNDAY November 29th, 2008 at 9 a.m.
at the Teacher Training College in Wrocław (NKJO)
room 118
ul. Skarbowców 8a, 53-025 Wrocław


for a series of 3 workshops (6 hours)

with ANDREW WRIGHT




1/ Teachers and students telling their own stories
Working through the various ways of remembering, selecting and telling stories from life experiences or from the stories told to us by family, friends or teachers. Ways of telling the stories well and activities which might be carried out in response to the stories.



2/ Helping students to make shadow theatre
Highly motivating, involves all students from toddlers to teenagers. Inventing the story, making the images, recording on video the show. This workshop is designed for non-artist language teachers to convince them that they can do it. Breathtaking for parents evenings. Students 5 to 18.



3/ Helping students to create an on-going community
An idea which costs nothing in money and very little time in teacher preparation…but is incredibly engaging and incredibly rich in its potential to make students USE their English in ways which matter to them. Absolutely applicable to all ages and all levels.
