There are also a few great youtube clips. To introduce the kancil/mouse-deer, I googled pics of them which I shared with the classes. Structures not covered just translated whenever it was said Other structures that were covered through TPR & brain breaks include: Mousedeer turned and looked at the crocodiles. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Mousedeer jumped from crocodile to crocodile and counted. How many crocodiles are in the river?” The crocodiles said, “Don’t know!” Mousedeer said, “Line up so that I can count you.” The crocodiles lined up. Mousedeer saw that there were crocodiles in the river. Mousedeer saw a mango and wanted to eat it. Satu, dua, tiga, empat, lima, enam, tujuh, delapan, sembilan, sepuluh!” Kancil seberang sungai dan melompat dari buaya ke buaya dan menghitung. Kancil lihat mangga dan mau seberang sungai. Probably though, before I go any further, I should share with you the TCI version of the folktale that is based on the one that Annie, Sharon & I co-created in 2015. I’ve been having so much fun with this story that I want to share with you a few of the pre story ideas I came up with for the story. The first and last time I taught this story was back in 2015 and it has been fascinating looking back over my lesson plans from that time as it was the first year I taught using TCI. I have been focusing on this folktale this term with my year 1-3 classes.
