The Tale of Rabbit and Coyote/El cuento del conejo y el coyote

After the students listened to the book in English and in Spanish, they create their own predictions (by writing and drawing them) of what would happen next with Rabbit and Coyote. The only rule was that rabbit could not get hurt in their predictions.
