Choose Your Own Ending PowerPoints-- Students write a simply story with three different endings. They write their story on a PowerPoint. When the slides are all complete, go to the slide where the story branches off to choose the different endings. Go up to INSERT. Click SHAPES. At the bottom of the list of shapes are action buttons. Insert a question mark for each of the slides that you need to choose from. Example: If the story branches off after the 3rd slide, then on the 3rd slide insert one question mark for slide 4, one for slide 5, one for slide 6, etc. When you click to insert a question mark (or other action buttons) click on the screen and a pop-up menu will come up. In the pop-up window, click HYPERLINK and then choose the slide you want it to go to. Then click OK. On the next slide, (and each of the following slides that you want to "choose" between) insert an arrow button, click on the screen. Click on the hyperlink button. Choose the slide you want to be able to return to. (In the example, it would be slide 3). When you are all done, run the slide show. When you click on the question marks, it will take you to the slide you hyperlinked it to.
