Warm-Up Activity

Crossroads

You are walking by yourself; maybe you have been walking for a long time. Picture your surroundings. What are you carrying?

How hard or easy has your journey been? How are you feeling? Describe all of these using as many details as you can. Remember to try writing with your senses.

You come to a crossroads. You have a choice of two different ways to move forward. They are very different from one another. There is no obvious way of deciding which direction to take. Describe the different routes. What is your reaction to them? Write about what you do, what happens, and how you feel.
