Task Description
In this module, we read the story ‘Kitoto the Mighty’, where the little mouse Kitoto wanted to make friends with powerful beings to protect himself, since he thought he was weak and small. During the class, we discussed how the mouse, Kigego, could turn out to be the mightiest in the Savannah. This task is an extension of the story where Kitoto had to venture out and find a cure to help Kigego. Students were asked to describe the problems and solutions Kitoto had when he started his journey.

Kitoto the Brave Mouse
It all started when Kigego became very sick. There were no medicines in his house. Kitoto told Kigego he would venture out to find medicines to cure his sickness. Kitoto bravely went out of the hole and started his journey to find Kigego’s medicine.
Afterwards, Kitoto needed to cross the river. He spotted the hawk he had seen before! The brown hawk was finding his prey. Kitoto was scared, as he thought the hawk would find him. He asked the river to help him. The river started to shoot streams of water to scare the hawk away. The hawk didn’t know what happened, but it was sure that something was attacking him, so it flew away. Kitoto thanked the river for saving him and continued with his journey.
After that, Kitoto found that the bridge between two cliffs was broken, so he called his pal the wind for help. The wind heard Kitoto’s cry and came to help. He blew Kitoto to the other side of the cliff. Kitoto felt thankful. He thanked the wind and called it to follow him. They went by a river. The river asked, “What brings you guys here?” Kitoto explained the problem to both of them. They understood and asked Kitoto if he needed help. Kitoto accepted their offer to help him and find the cure for Kigego’s sickness.
Suddenly, they were surrounded by a pack of wolves! The hawk, who was soaked, asked the wolf pack to help him get revenge. They all used their unique powers. The wind blew the wolves away, and the river used some hot water to burn the wolves’ tails. As for Kitoto, he tickled the wolves and made them laugh as the wind and river got rid of them. Finally, the wolves were all very tired and went back to the hawk.
Lastly, Kitoto, the wind and the river found the cure. They brought the medicine to Kigego. She felt better after a week. Kigego was so happy that she gave Kitoto a kiss. Kitoto blushed! They lived happily ever after.
Student's Reflection
In this writing, I met the standards I set for myself, as I wanted to write a touching story. I have gotten better at spelling as I proofread it five times. So, I didn’t have any spelling errors. However, I need to get better at my tenses because I have some grammatical errors. When people read my writing, I want them to notice that friends need to help each other and share happiness and sadness with one another.
Teacher's Comment
Jiff showed great creativity when he came up with this story. He also showed good understanding of all the characters. He made use of their characteristics to help Kitoto solve his problems. He also made an effort to demonstrate how important friendship was in the story and made use of the phrases he learnt from the text to help him enrich it. Good job, Jiff!
