My donkey come if I tell him go. My donkey yes. My donkey no.
• Ask pupils what they think ‘ My donkey yes. My donkey no .’ means. • Here are two more verses to this song:
My donkey walk. My donkey talk./My donkey eat with a knife and fork. My donkey eat. My donkey sleep./My donkey kick with his two hind feet. • Point out the differences between the words of the song and the same sentences in Standard English. Invite pupils to share their favourite songs and rhymes, using both Standard English and Creole, and to illustrate them. • With the class, make up and write a story about the children and the donkey. Demonstrate how to revise by adding details.
