“Let Me In” — I’ve used this one, too.
Two other favorite Simon’s Cat videos: “Can Man Do” and “Feed Me.” Those lend themselves nicely even to very early level one for Chinese. I’ve used “Scary Legs” also. In each case, I have PowerPoints of screenshots (with and without Chinese captions), and I’d be glad to share those. questyn@hotmail.com
Diane if you send them (without captions) to me I can post them here for those interested.
Done.
I shared screen shots with and without text of Simon’s Cat in Snow Business somewhere here last year – good action verbs for beginners.
I’m going to write it up for a pre-reading like you did, Ben. Just not this minute.
Mike shared a Blaine Ray video teaching with MT:

For those transitioning from TPRS to MT, see how Blaine Ray does it:

I’m doing this without the parallel characters with my 4th grade and using “Paperman.” Pretty sweet. I must lack the classroom management necessary for storyasking in 4th grade. So, I mostly storytell and combining it with a video really scaffolds the input and the acting!
