Description

Multi-path stories are choice-based narratives with many possible endings. They are useful in an EFL context because they naturally recycle keywords, encourage re-reading and critical thinking, and can improve engagement. In this short workshop, the author of "The North Fence" demonstrates a practical, classroom-tested sequence to encourage extensive reading, meaningful communication, and original storytelling while motivating students to read every ending. Suitable for junior high to university, and ideal for screen-free summer homework reading assignments.

This presentation is sponsored by Atama-ii Books.
