After the Story

Have students compare their choices and the endings they reached.

  • Remember some students may have played the story several times and reached different endings.

Next, have students access the student chapter Questions and have students answer the questions in the Structure Strip activity.

Have students share their answers:

Which choices did you make the first time?

How did you feel about those decisions?

Which choices were harder to make than others?

Which choices turned out best for Laura? How about for Violet? For Max? For Aadan?

When Laura got into a fight with Max, it was about something she had done. When she got into a fight with Aadan, it was about something he had done to her. Does that make a difference? Why?

What might Laura’s friends think about her if she keeps acting like this?

Will they want to play UniSaurus Realms if more people act like Laura?

 

If students have already played Tame the Tyrannolaurus and/or The Tale of Sameen the Wise, ask them what they learned from playing this story that they didn’t know before and whether it changed how they thought about anything in either of those stories.

 

Ask students to connect the scenario with their own experience:

  • Have you experienced a situation similar to this before?
  • If so, how did you handle it?
  • Based on what you learned, how could you have handled it differently?

Have any of them played Cyber Choices before? If so, what might have changed since the last time they did?
