The Traveller Communities of Lancashire are predominantly Romany and Irish. Their culture and language are oral rather than written. This not only limits the communities’ ability to access services, but also limits their ability to articulate their views and to understand their rights. This chapter seeks to explore how Freire’s pedagogy and the rich and colourful Traveller tradition of storytelling can be used successfully to engage the Traveller community in the production of a creative yet critical monologue which will facilitate not just ‘reading’, but reading their own reality and the development of a hopeful praxis. Moreover, it explores how the act of dialogue is an act of sharing a gift, the gift of education. In this chapter, we discuss how a group of undergraduates formed a learning community with the Travellers and how this became a vehicle for a new knowledge, leading to understanding, trust and respect.

Title: The Culture of Alpaca Breeders
Specific Purpose: To inform the audience about the culture of people who breed alpacas.
Introduction
Attention Material: Who can tell me what these are? (picture of alpacas) And who can tell me what purpose they serve? Well, I am hoping that after this presentation, You would be able to know all you need to know about the alpaca.
Thesis Statement/Preview: Today I am going to talk about the culture of alpaca breeders. To better understand the culture, I will inform you about the history of alpacas and their breeders, how to maintain your alpaca, and the uses for alpacas.
(First, let’s take a look at the lives of the alpaca and their breeders!)
Body
I. Alpacas and their breeders have a very distinct and interesting culture that not many people are aware of.
A. The history of Alpacas starts off in the ancient Inca civilization.
1. Here they were vital to the Incan society in South America.
2. They weren’t imported to the United States until 1984.
3. They haven’t spread across the world at all. They have mostly stayed in South America. According to Northwest Alpaca traders, 99% of alpacas still live in Peru, Bolivia and Chile.
4. Alpacas come from the camelid family, along with the camel and llama. Alpacas resemble a small llama.
B. There are two types of alpacas, the Suri and the Huacaya.
1. The only real difference between the two is their fur.
2. The Suri’s coat is longer and straighter, almost like dreadlocks.
3. The Huacaya has tightly bound curls, which makes their coat look fluffy.
C. Here are some Basic facts about Alpacas
1. They are on average 36” tall to the withers. They measure to the wither, which is the ridge between their shoulder blades.
2. They generally weigh between 100 and 200 pounds.
3. The alpaca lifespan is 20 years.
4. They eat hay or grass, but they are also known to eat anything, such as paper or a bottle.
5. They spit. They make noises, like humming or a click, but when they are in a fight or they are frightened, they can make a high-pitched cry, but this is pretty rare.
6. If you are interested in buying one, it could cost anywhere from $100 to $500,000.
D. Moving on, Alpaca breeders are just as important as Alpacas themselves.
1. Most people who breed alpacas use this as their only source of income, although many people also just enjoy them and do it for fun. Yet, it is a lot of work and is considered a full time job.
2. A lot of organizations around the world for Alpaca trainers and breeders. The biggest one is AOBA (Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association). They hold conferences, auctions, training sessions, and online blogs where you can post all sorts of cool information or stories about your own alpaca. Another one is AFCNA (the Alpaca Fiber Cooperative of North America. This organization accepts alpaca fur and turns it into products.
3. Just to name some others: The Alpaca Nation Community Central, The Alpaca ...
