Writing Day

                        Jack and Jill went up the hill
                        To fetch a pail of water
                        Jack fell down and broke his crown
                        And Jill came tumbling after  
There is too much left out of the story.  Who were Jack and Jill?  How did they go up that hill?  Did they walk?  Ride a horse?  Drive in a car?  Why did they need a pail of water?  Why didn’t they just turn on a faucet?  What make Jack fall down?  How far did he fall?  How serious was his “crown” injury?  What made Jill tumble?  Was she hurt?
