Create a Doorway to New Places
Relating to the novel’s device of transporting through magical doors, reflect on:
What have you experienced recently that you’d like to transport from?
Where would you like to go — relating to liberation, equity, and social justice?
Based on your thoughts, create and share your own magical door. We provide a “doorway” template to which you add an image and caption, that you can contribute (anonymously, if you like) to a gallery of such images that we’ll display on this website as a blog post.
Context for the Activity
This video provides a bit more thematic context for the activity. If you haven’t read the book, or if you need a refresher, this will help fill you in.
What is Exit West?
We provide a Google slides template, which also includes step-by-step instructions for completing the activity. Here’s the link to the template. (You’ll be prompted to make a copy for yourself.)
