Learn the idea
Interactive stories can connect scenes through links. A scene table specifies the destination of each choice. The learner must use the current scene and chosen link together. The same word may lead somewhere else from another scene, so context matters.
Use the current scene’s link table to choose the destination. Do not use a link destination from a different scene.
Use this supplied case: Current Menu, choice play. Table: Menu/play=Forest; Forest/river=River; Forest/home=Menu; River/bridge=Hill. Find the next scene. Use the details in this example. Say which detail helped you choose. This pretend example does not tell us how every real system works.
- Follow the worked example one step at a time. Say or draw what happens.
- Use the current scene’s link table to choose the destination.
- Say which detail makes the example answer fit. Pick another answer and say why it does not fit.
- Try the question and practice questions. Read the rule again if your answer does not match the explanation.
See the method in action
A fresh scene table says Home/start→Garden, Garden/gate→Pond, and Pond/back→Garden. Begin Home. The start choice uses Home’s table and changes the current scene to Garden. Now gate uses Garden’s table and moves to Pond; back there returns Garden. Look up each event in the current scene, rather than applying a different scene’s table. This is a supplied paper navigation trace, not an instruction to visit a real site.

New links: Room/door→Hall; Hall/back→Room. Expected: starting Room and choosing door, then back, returns Room.
