Google has recently added a new feature to Google Forms. The ability to add or upload a file to Forms. The file upload is done by the respondent so they can share a multitude of file types like Google Docs, Spreadsheets, PDFs, videos and more. If you use Google Classroom, the uploading of files feature is something that you are likely already enjoying. If you are not using Classroom, this is a way to have students turn in work and have it organized in one place within your Google Drive. Whether you use Classroom or not, this feature in forms has advantages over submitting in Classroom. If you have several classes that are assigned the same task, this set up not only creates a folder of student work, it also creates a spreadsheet with all responses and files in one document. This makes accessing and assessing student work so much easier because you just open 1 spreadsheet and can see all of your students work. You don't have to look into several files, or open up multiple classrooms and navigate from one student's submission to another. Check out the short video below about how to use this feature. This video is just about adding this feature. If you haven't used Forms before, see the video on the bottom of this post. Full Google Forms Tutorial

I loved Choose Your Own Adventure Stories as a kid. I was in control of where the story went based on the choices I made. With Google Forms you are able to provide students with the opportunity to create their own CYOA stories.
While exploring the potential of Google Forms I came across the idea of Choose Your Own Adventure. The examples I saw were very simple stories with more choices than content. Here is a site with examples. I created a basic template for making a story adventure that you could have your students use to create original works of literature that provide the audience and abundance of choice and interaction. I included an example of the form and the template below.
The template includes some direction and a map of how the sections are connected to help you understand the path of the form. You can adjust the path and add sections that you want. I tried to create a structure that could be used for longer stories so you wouldn't have to do the set up, but could also have sections deleted to allow for shorter stories to be created for you or your students. Please let me know if you have any questions.
