A Zogwork Story |
|
|
In the beginning, Zogworks were created to help teachers enhance learning in their classrooms. They were designed as a focal point—a place to begin a lesson. But, they were more than that. Zogworks are Language Arts based and promote geography—something that is lacking in our schools today. Similarly, Zogworks can also be a fun way for parents and children to interact at their ‘quiet time’ reading sessions at home. The stories engage colorful characters and lots of interaction. Children begin to discover the world around them and, at the same time, learn where different places are in the world including rivers, mountains, cities, states and countries. Zogworks will encourage children as young as 6 years old to use an atlas as a resource. In a March 2003 seminar held at Great Britain's Oxford University, the books and philosophy of Zogworks were introduced to a large group of school administrators and educators from both Great Britain and the United States. |
The response was tremendous. All agreed that the use of Zogworks would intensify learning in the classroom. They commended the educational advantages and clear values provided by Zogworks' characters and storylines. And, they agreed that the promotion of geography and the use of maps (include in most Zogworks) were an added bonus to the fun of learning.

"I haven't seen the mongoose," said the zebra. "Nor have I, " said the giraffe. "I think I saw the mongoose," said the Monkey..."He went thata way," and pointed towards Asia. |
|
|
|
The monkey answered quickly. "I saw him a few days ago." Then the monk departed swiftly. "I know where the mongoose went," said the hairy Asian Gnu. |

Our mystery now brings us to the Asian continent... We'll look for clues in India and find them there, I bet!

Oh! WHERE'S that silly mongoose? WHY can't we seem to find him? The cobra smiles with sheer delight and says, "by George, I've got him." WHAT do you mean, old cobra? WHY are you so smug? The cobra laughs and chuckles and gives himself a hug. |
|
|
|
"I'll ask again. Dear cobra, please solve our mystery. WHAT have you done with mongoose? Please answer that for me." The cobra smiled a snaky smile, then answered quietly. "I've eaten mongoose for dinner and he's inside of me.! |

The END
I haven't seen the mongoose," 
Mr. Cobra so pleased and feeling great?
