Notes

​

• using Twine, but any hypertext or linked platform can work as well (Wix, PowerPoint, Prezi, etc.)

• create links by writing [[this]] or [[that]]

• PUBLISH TO FILE to save, IMPORT FROM FILE to continue working on last version

• in Twine we see the map of the linked nodes, but when we open the HTML file it will be in a normal story-telling format

• can add media (images/music) and change formatting by adding HTML code

 

What did you do?

​

• created a nonlinear narrative story with a main character, a motif, characters' background and a realistic setting

• the reader is the main character. Their choices will determine the fate of the character

• made 25 nodes that each connects to at least 1 other node

• added pictures and sounds in certain nodes

​

What tools or skills did it require?

​

• Twinery.org

• creative writing

• logical understanding of the Twine environment

• HTML coding for images and sound

​

What did you learn? How could you adapt it to other projects or contexts?

 

• HTML coding: I understand the basic of adding images or sounds to an HTML file. This will be useful if I want to create some interactive digital media

• Nonlinear environment: I learned about the structure of nonlinear stories and I could create some in my fun time. It can be an interesting game to teach children about things through choices that they make (I work part-time as a tutor)
