The Somerset Hypertext Project is an experiment in using Information Communications Technology to help extend Key Stage Three pupils' writing. The works you'll see here are examples of stories which use Hypertext links to lead the reader through a more complex structure than the usual 'beginning-middle-end' structures pupils are taught.

It's hoped that using hypertexts to tell stories will encourage pupils to develop their ideas further, to experiment with plot and sub-plot, to extend ideas and sentences with more detail, and generally to invigorate pupils' writing with a renewed enthusiasm. Eventually these stories will be joined by others produced by teachers and pupils and they can all be used as models for teaching the structures and delights of this new form of storytelling.

Enjoy!
