Story Teller Jack Dalton Visits HMS by Elizabeth Ahkivgak

We'd like to start off by saying many thanks to ECHO , NSB, and the NSBSD for sponsoring Mr. Jack Dalton's, the storyteller, visit to the North Slope. Hopson Middle School enjoyed his pleasurable performance of "The Eye of the Needle." His humorous, but serious folk talk has inspired me to write stories.

My favorite part of the performance was when the main character in the end learned to share. Jack Dalton did a great job of telling us the moral of the story. My other favorite part was when he made the sound effects of each character.

It was great for Jack Dalton, a Yupik Native, to come to our school to share a traditional story. I would be very happy to have him come back to tell another story.
