Choose+Your+Own+Adventure

=Session Summary= toc

Don’t make your students passively watch a PowerPoint presentation, have them be a part of it! Create stories where the students make decisions that change the outcome, or create review quizzes to be used as a learning station in the classroom. Participants will learn how to make decision slides and will have time to create their own "choose your path stories". A template for review quizzes will also be provided so that even if you know nothing about using PowerPoint you can make quizzes in no time.

=Making Review Quizzes=



The review quizzes that we make here are not quizzes where students get a grade. We can not get a score or record of assessment from these quizzes. The purpose is for students to review on their own as they prepare for any formal assessment you might have in store for them. Let's look at some examples:





Now that you have tried some out, let's tackle creating them. Included below are directions for how to create your quiz and a template for creating quizzes. You will need to save the template first to your staff drive so that you can edit it.

=Interactive Stories=



I use to love " Choose Your Own Adventure " books in grade school. By using Action Buttons in PowerPoint, we can create our own stories for students to progress through ( or students can create the stories! ). Check out the short sample story //Adventures in Nature//.



The part that makes these stories unique are the decision making slides that appear. This document gives the procedure for creating these decision slides in PowerPoint:
