How to develop a description - countryside 1

Exercise for writing an interesting description of the countryside.
Instructions.
Ask your students to write a description of a countryside scene. You may wish to use a list of key ingredients to prompt them:
EG: Grass, wild flowers, dew, ants, cracked mud, puddle, reflection in the puddle.
They might produce something like “draft 1”. I have seen students produce similar things thousands of times. Challenge: how to use that raw material and develop it in an interesting way.
Advice to students. Take each part of the description and be imaginative and develop it. Think about using detailed observation. Experiment with phrases like “look closer”. Introduce verbs and put action into the writing.
So, show them just draft 1 (below). Discuss
Then show them draft 2 and ask them to continue it in a similar style.
Then show them draft 3 (which is draft 2 extended) and compare to their own writing.
What might they learn from the comparison?
