Choose Your Own Adventure – Echo Park

October 10, 2016 @ 9:30 am - 12:30 pm

This field trip is an action-packed thriller. Led by our volunteer Storyteller, students from a local Los Angeles Unified School District school are introduced to the Choose Your Own Adventure genre and its unique storytelling style. With the help of volunteer Typists, who help students brainstorm plot points and story structure, and transcribe the stories on our laptops, students begin writing their very own adventure by writing the first page as a class, but stop when the second-person protagonist has a decision to make. At that point, the class splits into two groups each led by one our volunteer Typists and each writing a branch of the story. As more decisions present themselves and storylines come to an end, the groups re-split and re-merge. We then collect and arrange the stories into a book and read through everything with an editorial eye. Every student ends the field trip by individually finishing the last four unresolved story branches, and they all take home a copy of the adventure.
