Have the students create their own “Looking Back” situations by writing down three things they have done in the past and now regret, and three things they have done in the past and are now glad they did. I instruct them to make their sentences interesting, even make them humorous. For example: a) If only I had gotten to know him better, I would have cut his hair more carefully. b) If only you had told me sooner, I wouldn’t have married him. c) If only I had arrived sooner, I would have eaten the whole cake.
