Profile Information

About Me:

I am a Spanish teacher and storyteller. I've been a storyteller all my life but got serious about it when I became a Spanish teacher and started using stories to teach language. I've been teaching for thirty years and telling stories professionally for close to twenty. I've done lots of workshops on using storytelling to teach language skills.

I enjoy telling folktales in English, Spanish or both, and also tell a few personal narratives. I like to play the spoons and do some pieces written with rhythm and rhyme, the language acquisition thing coming in again.
I've recently become involved in coaching young storytellers and really enjoy that work. I've been on the boards of state and local storytelling organizations in Texas and was greatly involved in the first ten years of the Texas Storytelling Festival.

Always a tale to tell,

I hope you learn to love this site as much as I do. There are lots of good things to do and learn here. check it out... add to the conversations... upload your photos and audio files... don't be a stranger... I can't tell if that is a puppet or not... if you are a puppeteer, you might already know Lona Bartlett. She is a great lady and a member of PS and she holds a conference each year for Puppeteers... a must know person if you are into puppets.

Welcome again
Buck

I'm in class, so I gotta go, but just wanted to welcome you - look fwd to seeing you soon and catching your contributions to the site.

Best to you,
