Read the following steps to create a [|Choose Your Own Adventure] story.


 * Step 1.** Create a New Page (Actions menu on left side of page). Click the EDIT THIS PAGE button. Type your title, author, and start your story. At the bottom of the page, create links to the next pages in the story. Click the SAVE button.


 * Step 2.** You'll notice that the links you've made are brown. When you click the link, it will show you a page that is ready to be edited. Click the EDIT THIS PAGE button. Create each of the additional pages. Keep the number of branches reasonable. For your first story, we recommend no more than three endings. For instance, you might create the first page introducing three characters. Then build pages that follow these three characters. Another idea is to introduce a character and follow this person to three different settings. It helps if you create a concept map or chart planning each page. Also, think about naming and numbering your pages such as A, A1, A2, B, B1, B2.


 * Step 3**. Remember that you can add images and audio files to your project. You might draw pictures on paper then take a photo of the picture with a digital camera. You could also use historical or family photos in your project. Consider downloading the free sound editor [|Audacity] and recording your voice reading each page. Be sure you only use pictures and audio that you've created unless you have permission from the owner to use their pictures and sounds.


 * Step 4.** When your story is ready to share, add a link on the front page of our project. Also edit the navigation list on the left. Add your story to the list. There's not much space, so you may need to shorten the title.


 * Step 5**. You can create as many stories as you wish. Have fun!

//**Note to Teachers:**// If you plan a long story or will have many students participating, consider building [|your own wiki]. Then, come back to our page and add it to our home page and navigation bar on the left.
