Next week, we will do some dissecting and rebuilding of the paragraph – a fun reconstruction wherein we can try out some variety
of style.
The Topic:
By the Old Mill Stream
Elementary: You are on a field trip with other kids your age. Lunch is planned by a stream. As you look down the stream, you can still see the old textile mill. It is abandoned now. Or it SHOULD be abandoned? Who – or what – do you see?
Junior High and High School: You and the love of your life have packed a picnic lunch. Finding the “perfect” spot by a stream, you begin unpacking lunch onto the yellow checked blanket you have spread on the ground. You are thinking how wonderful it is, so quiet, so private. You stand and look down the stream toward the old textile mill. You wonder if some other couple long ago sat by the stream. Then you notice someone behind a tree not so far away – a girl in a long flowing dress. Could it be someone from days gone by? Who is it and why is she here? Is she looking for someone?
