Choose your own online adventure...

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Today, instead of beginning a brand new unit on a Friday, I'll ask you to engage with some very interesting text.  Have you ever read a choose your own adventure book? I used to love those books, but I always cheated!

You are going to be given a bunch of choices today, and you are free to choose what you like. I'll be around to listen to you reading so that I know you are choosing just right text.

In the last 10 minutes of class, you will be require to write a comment here on the blog letting the class know what you chose to read and how you felt about the text. Consider the following questions...
1. Did you make a good choice? What was good about it?
2. Do you wish you had made a different choice? Why?
3. Would you like to write a story like this?

You may not register for any websites today, so if the choice you make asks you to do so, please make a new choice. Please use this site to access your choices.

Enjoy!

~ Mr. Moore

  1. Dear Mr. Moore and Ms. V,

    I read the one called Castaway and the choice was good for me. Why because the text show to the right shows your items you have like a compass. I would like to write a story like this because you have more choices and make your reader feel more into the book.

  3. The book I read was a good choose because it was about my favorite animal, a dog. I would of just one different thing, the one thing I would change is not of gone with the firefighters. I just wanted for the story to of been longer. Yes, I would write a story like this because it was interesting to me to hear about how this dog tried to find his brother.

  4. Dear Mr. Moore,
    I made a good choice, the adventure story I played was about a virus that started spreading and you had to be the desenator and come up with ways to help people. I don't wish I made another choice because this game was a little challenging and I like challenges. I would like to write a story like this.

  6. Dear Mr. Moore and Ms. Vander Velde,

    I did, Fairy Tales and I did make a good choice. The good part is the my character didn't need to marry a ugly prince and her parents are really poor. I didn't wish that I changed my choices... maybe the part when something happened really bad to the person who makes my character to be rich, but that's probably it! The last answer to this post is yes, I would really like to write a story like this. You get to make up your own ending. Of course the ending are usually, you not making it, or you survived.

  8. Dear Mr. Moore in Ms.V,
    I kinda made good choices on my game but I got kinda confused on some. I did wish there were other choices because some of the choices were hard to decide on. I would like to write a story like that cause there fun games but like books. Your student,

  9. Dear Ms. VanderVelde,
    I think I made some good choices because I went through one whole game without a game over. No, I don;t think I should have made a different choice because if I did I would then have a game over. No, I would not like to write a story because it would be hard to choose what to write.

  10. Dear Mr.Moore and Ms.Vander Velde,
    Today I played the Life or Death: Lost at Sea game. I didn't make very good decisions. For example, at one point I was stuck between a sea of sharks and had to choose between a spear, a knife, and an oar. I chose the knife, but apparently "you stabbed the shark in the nose and the blood caused a commotion. You were pushed of the raft and left to die" I definitely wish I had made a different choice because... I wouldn't have died. I would probably like to write a story like this, but a "chose your own adventure".

  11. Dear. Mr.Moore,Ms.v

    I made a good choice because when this kid was grounded he wanted to sneak out but didn't so he did not get taken away from a gang member. Sometimes I wish i had made a better choice because i ended up going to jail. I would like to write a story like this because you can have as many endings as you can.

  12. Daer Mr. Mooore and Ms. Vander Velde,
    I think I made a good choice because I felt like I had a lot of fun. I also felt like time passed in a blink of an eye. I wish I didn't make a different choice because I had so much fun. It was also very fun to play the game I played. I would not like to write a story of this because I think it was kind of bad. It was about eating and shedding people and knights. I think my teachers would not like me to write about this at all.

  13. Dear Ms. V,
    I made the worst chooses for my dragon. I shredded people and ripped their heads off intently. I was as mean as I could be and ate the princess hole. I wasn't even done with the game when I dueled my dragon dad for money. The links on the one site are so cool. I would never make a different choice on the game because it was fun to be evil. I would love to write a story on the choose-your-own-adventure- game.

  14. Dear Mr.Moore,
    I am not sure if I liked it or not. I liked it but then it got a little weird. What was good was that you had to think a lot. I kind of do wish I made a different choice because I got a little angry that I kept loosing. So I just went back and then clicked the same answers I already picked correct. Yeah. I think it would be a little exciting because you would already know the correct answers. Then you would see how many people had read or played your game. It was a little interesting.
    Sincerely, Leslie11m

  15. Dear Ms.V and Mr.Moore,
    The online adventure I chose was called Life or Death. I kept on losing and sometimes I thought I didn't want to choose the one's that I always lost in but I did but.I think it was nice that I learned how to survive. I would really like to make a story like this because it shows how to survive.

  16. Dear Ms. V and Mr. Moore,
    I think she made a good choice because the adventure I liked was called Life or Death at the Jungle. I tried to do the adventure and then it kept telling me what would I do if I was trapped in a quicksand and other stuff. I would not make another choice because this adventure is awesome. I would like to write a story like this because this is like lots of survival things. I like survival things.

  17. I think that I didn't make a good choose because the choose I made was to hard. I wish that I had made a different because I died 10 times tiring to finish the game.It was good and all but I think that it would have bin better if I had picked I different.I would not like write a story like this because I don't like to read these stories. I rather read other stories. It would take me forever to come up with an idea for this.

    What was good about it well it was fun to make your own story about you as a dragon.I also liked that at the end you could see your dragon.
    No I do not think I could of made a better choice, because I love to make how you look, and when you say like how dare you judge me! The person says sorry, sorry, it is pretty funny.

  20. Dear Mr. Moore and Ms.V,
    I think that these stories are really entertaining. I also think that these stories show you right from wrong.Like this story that I did i ran to a gang of gang stares to try to help me but instead they beat me up and i was all cut. But when I made a different choice the gangsters didn't fallow me.

  21. I think I made a great choice with both castaway and life or death. They were both about being stranded and getting back to a city or getting to land,they also have very real life situations. I wish I had made different choice because I kept ending up dying or bake where I started. I think it would be really fun to write a story like this so you could get a choice of what they can do or find. I would recommend Choose Your Own Adventure books to anyone who likes adventure or mystery books.
