Instead of asking your students to write a linear story, you can spice things up and foster a higher level of collaboration by creating a hypertext. Each student is responsible for one section of the story, and at the end of most sections there will be at least two options that allow the reader to choose how to proceed. Google Forms is an excellent tool to create such a hypertext, as it allows students to work together on the same file, easily add options, and link the sections. This document explains how to go about it; there are also many suggestions how to incorporate hypertexts in other subjects.
