Word order in Shakespearean Writing

When Shakespeare wrote his prose, he often used a slightly different word order than we are used
to. The subject, verb, and object did not always follow in a 1, 2, 3 order. Look at the following
sentence. Rewrite the sentence four times, changing the word order each time. Put one word on
each blank provided below the original sentence.
Original Sentence: I lost my homework.
Rewrite #1: __my_______ ___homework______ ___i______ __lost_______.
Rewrite #2: __i_______ ____my_____ ___homework______ ___lost______.
Rewrite #3: ___i ______ ___lost______ ___homework______ __my_______.
Rewrite #4: ___my ______ ___homework______ ____lost_____ __i_______.
Look at each of your rewritten sentences above. Has the meaning of the original sentence changed?No

No matter how you word it...you're toast if your homework is lost!
Now, think about how Yoda speaks in the Star Wars Movies. We understood exactly what he was saying, even though the word order was slightly different than what we are used to hearing. It's your turn to makeup a short sentence like the one above and rewrite it several different ways. Does the meaning change with the rewrites? Share your sentences.
Original Sentence: Hi my name is Mia
Rewrite #1: Hi Mia my name is
Rewrite #2:Mia is my name hi
Rewrite #3: Mia my name is hi
Rewrite #4: Hi Mia is my name
