Choose Your Own Karma

Hello All!
I'm at a weekend conference for Oklahoma DeMolay, so I've been busy training judges and keeping teenagers out of trouble!
I haven't identified which stories I want to focus on, but I think I've narrowed my project down to a Choose Your Own Adventure layout. I'll title it Choose Your Own Karma. I may pair this with one of the lesson plan projects that I write for one of my education classes.
9.2.W.3 Students will develop drafts by choosing an organizational structure (e.g., description, compare/contrast, sequential, problem/solution, cause/effect, etc.) and building on ideas in multi-paragraph essays. 9.3.R.1 Students will analyze works written on the same topic and compare the methods the authors use to achieve similar or different purposes and include support using textual evidence.
I will be using the above OKELA Standards to formulate a plan for my project. Using Karma as a means to study cause/effect and problem/solution builds literary and cultural awareness and empathy (hello, hidden curriculum!) into my lesson plan. I want to see if I can find similar stories within the three religious disciplines listed below. Although I will not be evaluating whether these stories are achieving similar or different purposes in this project, I will build the requisite knowledge working on this project that I need to fulfill the example for my lesson plan project. I have linked the bellow disciplines to Britannica.com articles to help me dig further for story ideas.
