Multimodal texts (composing and reading) deserve specific attention in our language arts curriculum. This article aims to share a collaborative effort between 7th grade students and preservice teachers engaged in a digital writing unit centered on "Choose Your Own Adventure" stories.

We end by sharing our successes and potential concerns for both groups of students as well as our experiences facilitating.
