The Dream Factory – Teachers’ notes The Dream Factory (see synopses on pages 1 + 2) explores the following themes: kindness over selfishness; the importance of caring and loving as opposed to materialism and the desire for riches. Bilingualism The relationship between Jackie and her grandfather is a Spanish-speaking one. The television show ‘The Noël Peels Show’ is broadcast via satellite to Spain and so Noël Peels uses both languages. The rest of the characters are English-speaking, though Game Boyd occasionally uses the conversational Spanish he knows. Spanish is used to reinforce what has been said in English and to highlight the most important elements of the play. About 65 - 70% of the play is in English. LINGUISTIC/GRAMMATICAL CONTENT:

• NUMBERS AND COLOURS - A red number six; A blue number four. • ASKING PEOPLE ABOUT THEMSELVES - Simple questions and answers: ‘How are you?’ ‘I’m fine, thanks’ got…?’ ‘Yes, I have / No, I haven’t’ • WHERE? - Prepositions of place (on, under, in, next to) and the phrases ‘there is/there are’ • LIKES AND DISLIKES - I like pizza. I don’t like watching television. • ADJECTIVES - happy/sad, rich/poor, etc. • TELLING THE TIME (o’clock) - It’s ten o’clock, It’s seven o’clock • ANIMALS - lion, dog, etc., and some things animals do: lions roar, dogs bark, etc.

‘Have you

THE EXERCISES are intended to introduce the students to the story of the play plus the important vocabulary and grammatical constructions. If they are prepared beforehand, they will enjoy the play much more. Some exercises are easier than others - we realize that six year-olds have different needs and levels from nine year olds. We have therefore graded each exercise as either Level 1 (easy) or Level 2 (not so easy), so you can choose which ones you think will be most appropriate for the level of your class.

Aquí tienes otra versión de la historia, esta vez en castellano. Hay algunas palabras subrayadas. ¿Te acuerdas de cómo se dicen estas palabras en inglés? Escribe tus respuestas abajo. Te hemos puesto la primera letra... Jackie es una niña pobre pero soñadora. No tiene padres y vive con su abuelo, que está muy enfermo. A Jackie esto la pone muy triste, y su sueño sería conseguir el dinero necesario para pagar un médico. En el pueblo donde viven hay un lugar fantástico y misterioso, que se llama La Fábrica de Sueños. Nadie sabe que es lo que hay allí dentro, pero todos imaginan que tiene cosas increíbles. Un día el popular presentador de televisión, Noël Peels, anuncia un concurso muy especial, sólo para niños - y el premio es una visita a la Fábrica de Sueños. Hay miles y miles de números, de distintos colores, escondidos por el mundo entero, pero solamente tres sietes de color verde son los números ganadores. Jackie quisiera, más que nada en el mundo, ser uno de los tres afortunados. Pero desde luego, no es la única que sueña con encontrar uno de estos números. En la obra conocemos también a otros dos niños: Game Boyd, un apasionado de los juegos electrónicos; y Vila Vinegar, una niña rica, caprichosa y muy consentida. Y aún no hemos mencionado el misterioso dueño de la Fábrica de Sueños. ¿Quién es? ¿Qué es lo que se esconde detrás de las puertas de su fábrica? Pues, lo siento, pero eso es ‘top secret’…
