Use This Page to Define Your Quest.
Step 1: Imagine the quests below combined with your Just Causes
Read through these quest types several times. Each time you read, read slowly and only keep one of your top Just causes in mind. For example, I would imagine “Public vs. Private School Disparity” and start reading through the list. Then, I’d read it through again but with “Police Officer Involved Shooting” in mind. Each quest is worded to sound more epic and speak to people’s primitive natures and emotions. As Simon Sinek says, “A good enough cause will get people to sacrifice.” Write your best favorite Quest/Just Cause Combinations into your homework box in your Google Doc.
