The anger of the Jungle

TITLE: The anger of the jungle



RECOMMENDED AGE GROUP: Level 1 (1º - 3º Primary)

CHARACTERS – OBJECTIVES:

LIONS. Arrogants. They walk slowly, making “royalty” gestures.
TIGERS. Arrogants. They walk as the lions, but they feel envy of them, so, when they see the lions, they make false gestures and fake smiles.
ELEPHANTS. Peaceful and quiet animals. Making typical trunk movements (use the arm as a trunk). They represent the respect and the equality. They are the common sense.
MONKEY. It is the innocence and the respect. They want to play with the tigers and lions, but they are “not allowed” to mix up with them.

SYNOPSIS

In the jungle live many groups of animals. Those belonging to feline family (tigers, lions, pumas…), are so arrogant and haughty. They believe that no one is above them, as well as they deserve all the respect from the rest of the animals. On the other hand, in the jungle there are also more animals like monkeys or elephants.

Apparently all these animals live in peace. The little whelps, as little children, go to school to study some rules and knowledge. The feline, sometimes laufh at the monkeys, because they think they are funny. On the other side, some elephants (respected by the lions because they are huge), don’t like that lions’ attitude, and they talk to them not to mock again to the monkeys. However, tigers and lions still did the same.

One day, from the deep jungle, a huge fire began to grow. The animals try to escape running. Even the tigers, lions and pumas, but they could not see any way to run away from there. Suddenly, one of the monkeys climbed up at the top of a tree, guiding all the animals there to find the way out.

In conclusion, we have to respect each other, and don’t make any difference, neither the appearance, nor the culture or origins. Another topic is, not judging without knowing the other.

Mal de Escuela (Reflexión a modo de noticia)

Para seguir con las lecturas, es imprescindible saber que dentro de la educación de cualquier persona, intervienen varios factores: la escuela, los padres, el propio alumno, compañeros, la sociedad, etc. Sin embargo, además de fomentar y ayudar el aprendizaje, es necesario ponerse en el lugar del niño o adolescente al que vamos a enseñar. Éste niño o adolescente, no siempre es el primero de la clase, y por ello, también hay que saber cómo se siente y qué es lo que piensa. Con esta novela, uno se pone en la piel de un "zoquete" que ilustra muy bien su situación escolar vivida durante todos sus años de estudiante.

Os lo presento brevemente a modo de noticia, así os dejo con las ganas de leerlo.
