Collect and create

Target: Kindergarten
Resource: Kevin the Crocodile written by An Vrombaut
Series: 64 Zoo Lane

This presentation aims to move a child's thinking from narrative to fact or real life. This is achieved by interweaving real images of crocodiles and their features with pictures from the book to scaffold the child in predicting aspects of the story. Furthermore, the story explores how the older crocodile (Victor) teaches the younger crocodile (Kevin) to 'behave' like a crocodile, for example snapping his teeth or thrashing his tail in the water. There are several important themes that can be explored from this story: behaviour, friendship, learning from older generations and celebrating success.
