The Mapping Exercise<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The straight path might seem to be the safest and most efficient, but it usually isn\u2019t the most interesting.\u00a0 Staying on it often keeps us from exploring other possibilities.<\/p>\n

[The student] must be allowed something of a frontier mentality, an overall commitment, perhaps, to get to California, but a readiness, all along the way, to choose alternate routes and even sojourn at unexpected places when that seems wise or important, sometimes, even, to decide that California isn\u2019t what the writer really had in mind.<\/p>\n

The Mapping Exercise<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 1: In the next three minutes please identify as many routes as you can to travel from Seattle, Washington to Albany, New York.\u00a0 Be prepared to post (in the discussion forum) at least two different paths you traveled and why you chose each path you took.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Read the other responses that come in and reply to two other posts.\u00a0 Consider the following in doing so: Now that I\u2019ve heard what everyone else has said are there other routes I\u2019d take or consider?\u00a0 If so, which routes and why?\u00a0 Post your reconsiderations.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Now read the responses that you received on your original post and answer the following question: Why did I do this exercise?\u00a0 Respond at the bottom of your original post.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t
