INTRODUCTION

In Zookeeper, the animals at the Franklin Park Zoo love their kindhearted caretaker, Griffin Keyes. Finding himself more comfortable with a lion than a lady, Griffin decides the only way to get a girl in his life is to leave the zoo and find a more glamorous job. The animals, in a panic, decide to break their time-honoured code of silence and reveal their biggest secret: they can talk! To keep Griffin from leaving, they decide to teach him the rules of courtship – animal style!

This website has been created to be used in conjunction with Film Education's Zookeeper wallchart and educational CD-Rom with interactive Literacy and Science focused activities for use in the classroom, ICT suite, Assembly Hall and for homework.

NB: A Teachers Scheme of Work is also available, showing how these activities and those on the disc address aspects of the Literacy and Science curricula at Key Stage 2.
