Take a look at these street corner signs. Whoa! Where is this place?
Warsaw, Poland, to be exact. I took this photo in 2011, and I love it because the photo shows how place names differ in different countries.
This corner is a real place, but when we invent stories, we get to make up place names. Why not have fun doing so?
Write about your very own, made-up street intersection. What will you name the two streets?
The names can be silly, simple, serious, or impossible to pronounce. They can have special meaning for you or your characters, or be completely random.
When you're done naming your streets, put two characters underneath the signs. Now let them have a conversation. Why are they meeting at this intersection? What is their conflict?
By the way, one of the signs above means "Krakow Suburb." The other sign commemorates a famous general.
What will your signs say?
