adventure stories

Our last unit we worked on writing adventure stories with 10 year olds.  The project - like all our projects this year - fun and possibly distracting tech goal, a little too wide in scope, impressive on the cover, not necessarily on the content.

In my 5th grader's Choose-Your-Own Adventure project there were multiple plot lines with multiple endings - but here are some one-sentence summaries:

The girl who was going to kill her mom because she didn’t buy her shoes
The man who got ate by a monster on the way to get baby food at the market, but he climbed out
The “bully” who set people’s houses on fire and tried to kill people.
The magical and powerful Ice Staff that is owned by fairies but powered by people’s eyeballs.  
The “town phone” - where the whole town answers the phone call, like some sort of mega-speaker.
Icecream then a creature that blast and has regrowing hands
The school with the troubled class called "Buttercups".  They went on a camping trip and most of the adventure had to do with their bags - should we pack them or not?  Who should carry the bags?
