What would you plan as your greatest historical adventure? Where would you go? Who would you take with you? Has someone taken this adventure before or is your adventure a 'first'? Is it a place you are planning to stay forever or will you be returning home? Developing exceptional writing skills will give you the power and stamina to take adventure after adventure with your pen and pencil. If that is good enough for you, maybe we can plan your next real adventure! This section should give you loads of ideas for future trips and historical challenges.

1. What historical, book, television or movie adventure would you like to take or duplicate? Why did this type of adventure "catch" your interest?

2. On a scale of 1-10 (10 being you absolutely have to do it) rate the following adventures:

_____Mountain climbing _____Surfing

_____Space travel _____Safari

_____Deep sea dive _____Sailing

_____Haunted house experiment _____Car racing

_____Snow/water skiing _____Horseback journey

_____Back packing _____Jungle exploration

_____Run the river rapids _____Cave combing

_____Parachute jumping _____Forest camping

_____Back in time _____Ahead to future

_____Change history _____Change yourself

Add up your scores and divide the total by twenty. Place a percent mark after that number. This will tell you how ready you are for an excellent adventure.

3. What kind of video or recording equipment will you be taking on your adventure?

4. Explain how you would get from your home to your destination. The site 'Map Quest' on the internet will be a great help to you. On a separate sheet of paper draw an illustrated map of your adventure. Be sure to include the routes and different types of transportation.

5. In what three events in history would you like to participate? _____________________
