The Missing Bridge
Change one decision. Discover how a story changes.
The learner experience
A little curiosity. A lasting understanding.
A messenger reaches a broken bridge. Learners inspect clues, choose whether to seek help or take a detour, and justify the choice. Two approved continuations reveal consequences without treating one narrative preference as the only correct answer.
Imagine this moment
The same opening splits into two illustrated paths, each anchored to the learner's selected clue.
Learning & evidence
The learning objective
Infer a character's motivation using story evidence and explain a cause-and-effect relationship.
What understanding looks like
A claim supported by a specific clue, followed by a causal explanation. Evaluate reasoning rather than which branch was selected.
Adaptation
Different starting points. A shared objective.
Offer read-aloud and highlighted evidence; extend to competing interpretations and a written alternate ending.
