ASSEMBLY AND WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

Latin American/Native American Storytelling (Bilingual; in English or Spanish) In Person, Virtual

Students will be introduced to the folklore of the Native Peoples of North, Central and South American and the Caribbean. The tales highlight the relationship between human beings and animals and the environment. In schools where the majority of pupils are Latino, special emphasis is put on the legends and culture of the Taino, Inca, Maya and Aztec peoples. For Spanish-dominant classes, the storytelling programs can also be used as a vehicle for learning English as a second language.

Spoken Word 101. Poetry In Person

Poetry is a wonderful means of expression, especially for young people who will be encouraged to incorporate every day vernacular in their verses.  They will be taught the principles of reading poetry in public in a clear and entertaining manner.  Every child is born a poet. This innate gift is drawn out in a supportive process in which the children feel safe to express themselves freely.

The Native Peoples of the Americas In Person

In this lecture presentation with PowerPoint, Bobby discusses the art, history, outstanding leaders and lifestyles of the indigenous peoples of the western hemisphere. Native Americans made major contributions in the fields of cuisine, language and spirituality and have been very influential on today's environmental movement. Q & A is encouraged as a means of positive dialogue that seeks to dispel commonly held stereotypes and misconceptions.
