With the inspiration of Google expert David Wees, I used his Choose Your Own Adventure idea with Google Forms for a Google training I am facilitating. Using his Choose Your Own Adventure story and adding some more details and pages, I created my own story based on his original. It is called "The Lily Pad". https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1DX3uhiwGehYYk3ya_ww7cxriAlnY85P2jEtzUEAUL6A/viewform
Using the "Go To Page Based on Answer" option in Google Forms, you can guide your viewers to different pages based on the answer they choose. Think of the movie BIG with Tom Hanks. At the end of the movie, he and his "girlfriend" pitch the idea of a choose your own adventure comic book with different cartridges with multiple choices to guide the reader which ever way they choose. They can read the story over and over again with different choices. Not only would this be an engaging reading activity for students, they could actually work on their writing skills by creating their own stories for their classmates to read. All the students would be writing stories and reading other stories. What an amazing opportunity to bring student work into the classroom.
Here's a link to the form so that you can read it for yourself: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1DX3uhiwGehYYk3ya_ww7cxriAlnY85P2jEtzUEAUL6A/viewform
To create your own, just start your own Google Form. Use page breaks and the "Go To Page Based on Answer" option when creating your multiple choice questions.
Continue writing your story and offering options until you end up with a conclusion that your readers can come to. Using the "Go to Page Based Answer" option is also a great way to add differentiation to your forms for formative assessments. Kasey Bell at ShakeUpLearning.com has a great blog post about this - http://www.shakeuplearning.com/blog/shut-the-front-door-digital-differentiation-with-google-forms.
