Branching narrative built in Twine, played by classmates

Year 11 · 240 min · 1 device per student

Each student builds a branching short story in Twine. The story has at least three decision points and four endings. Each branch must explore a different theme (loyalty, identity, fear, hope). At the end of the project the class plays each other's stories and writes a short response on which branches felt the most justified by the writer's craft.

Twine narrative through primary sources

Year 11 · 240 min · 1 device per student

Each student builds a Twine branching narrative based on primary sources from a chosen historical event (e.g. the Munich Crisis, the Suez Crisis, the Cuban Missile Crisis). The reader makes decisions at key moments; each decision branch reveals a different primary source the reader must interpret to continue. There must be at least three decision points and four endings.
