Warm-Up Activity

Quest

In a quest story you have a character in search of something, just as the Knights of the Round Table went in search of the Holy Grail. Make a list of five things that could serve as a quest. Note that a quest might be a search for something intangible, such as an identity for an amnesiac or the solution to a mystery. Try to include some real objects and some intangibles on your list.

Once you have listed five things, choose three and add a story line to each. Who could be the characters? What are some possible conflicts that your characters could encounter?
