The Neverending Tale is a web-based tool allowing students to collaborate on
creative and expository writing. Students choose their own path through a
story line. Each page contains text and a list of choices to follow. Each
choice branches off into a new page, with its own text and choices. The
outcome of the story depends on what choices the reader makes on each page.
The program has been shown to be most useful for students in grades 4
through 8.
The Neverending
Tale
This is another good example of non-linear hypertext writing. While it
might not contain good writing per say, I think the concept is
quite cool.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
It is assumed that every brand name, slogan, corporate name,
symbol, design element, et cetera mentioned in these pages is a
protected and/or trademarked entity, the sole property of its
owner(s), and acknowledgement of this status is implied.
