Development of thinking skills
.
The series about Auggie – Fire Dragon develops the children’s thinking skills of children from 7 to 11 years of age.
Fairytale and mythological characters embody different ways of thinking and reaching new creative solutions to overcome the problems faced by modern children:
– overcoming fear,
– awareness of the need to independently think, fight, decide your fate, judge enemies and win over friends;
– Truth and Falsehood
– the many faces of advertising and the danger of abusing it,
– search for your SELF,
– The right and risk of being different
2
– survival – but at what cost
– power and blind faith in its power and infallibility,
– the relationship between all life, between living and inanimate nature,
– Nature conservation
– Friendship.
Each of the characters uses the tools to think in his own specific way, characteristic of his team and marked with one of the colors of the “six thinking hats”1.
In order to win, the reader must learn to use the reference apparatus of the book. It is always crucial to apply his knowledge (from folklore and mythology, for example) to defeat or protect those he loves.
Stories are dominated by environmental themes. The child’s ability to independently think and take responsibility for his decisions and actions, to overcome his fears is formed.
Leitmotif in the series is the thought that you can always turn defeat into victory if you learn something new and if you can use it at the right time.
In short, here’s what happens in:
1. “Auggie and the Lamia”
Thinking Tool – WMF – Physical Parts, Mental Parts
The puppy Dan and the crow Ohie find a crystal egg from which Auggie hatches. Its guardian and teacher is the magic magnifying glass – Mademoiselle Fu. The Lamia is chasing him. Her magical eye awakens the fears of everyone in the Valley. To save their new friend, the Fire Dragon, they must overcome their fears. The old crow Oh manages to reverse the direction of magic – the Lamia, chased by her fears, runs away, seeks salvation away from them.

3.”Auggie and Doug”
Thinking Tool RaP – Differences, Similarities
In the lake of trout, an unknown creepy creature appears. Auggie’s friends argue about whether it is a fish or a dragon. They decide that it is the dragon who will protect them from the Hail. They begin to feed and water him to appease him, begging him to protect them. They call him Doug. Doug grows.
The students of the College of Guiding Worms – under the bark of the Vemura – also grow. She hopes in vain that beautiful butterflies will hatch from them. Disappointment, their gluttony and malice take away her strength. Magic allows the characters to turn back time, if they understand how dangerous it is, someone else to think and decide for them.
It turns out that Doug’s genes have been altered in a mysterious laboratory to re-create an ancient species of rainbow trout. Doug becomes part of the Auggie team. He learned how to fight, became the leader of the dragon militia. They all drive away the Hail and the Lamia.
