I thought you might enjoy this paragraph I had to write for my Reading Methods class. The assignment was to write a sequence paragraph on ANY TOPIC OF YOUR CHOICE. Dr. Callais did say ANY TOPIC OF YOUR CHOICE. He hasn't met may Lizs.
"Although slugs are no longer thought of as a delicacy, there is a history of it. The Yurok Indians of the North Coast dined on the gastropods. Then in the late 19th and early 20th centuries German immigrants were known to eat banana slugs, preparing the slugs like fish, gutted and fried, according to the pamphlet ''The Banana Slug - A Close Look at a Giant Forest Slug of Western North America,'' by Alice Bryant Harper. Later, eating slugs fell out of popularity with most everyone. Perhaps the last straw with slug snacks was in 2003 when an Australian man developed a rare form of meningitis after eating two leopard slugs on a dare. "
