This is a fun, interesting, and educational week long project for students who have studied immigration and the American Industrial Revolution. Taking after the well known and well loved Choose Your Own Adventure© book series, this is a complete project that allows students to choose one of nine characters to create historical fiction using period accurate vocabulary, events, and images. Students are guided through the project from a starting story board outline to a full working and interactive adventure story using the included template and MS PowerPoint. ALL items needed are included for this great project, including lush graphically detailed images to use immediately. It has always been one of my student's favorite projects of their school year and I have had several students who came back as freshman and sophomores asking if I still had their finished stories! In fact, my former students have loved and appreciated the creative open-endedness of this project so much; I am currently working up more graphics for characters of different time periods to include as secondary projects - shoot me an email if you have a specific time period you are looking for!

rugregory: Brilliant, thanks! I still use this with my students and have had great success with it throughout the years. Because we focus so much on non-fiction and primary / secondary sources, this is a great chance for them to be creative, yet still stay within the bounds of "historical fiction."
I have been thinking of adding other "characters" from other time periods beyond the late 19th century... Westward Expansion, etc. if there is a time period that you could use coming up in the rest of this school year let me know and maybe I can focus on that to build the next set. My pacing has been slow this year and I still have Westward Expansion, slavery leading up to the Civil War, and Reconstruction to go...
Thanks again!
