SHARE & Connect:

Journal Topic Week 1: Share

Record a video of yourself in which you talk about your response to this post. (choose Flipgrid)
Write a blog post in response to this post. (choose Padlet)
- You can decide how many people see your post; if you want to keep it private, write in your journal, but if you want to share it write a blog post and add the link to your post on the Padlet.
- You will get more views of your post by writing an interesting title, adding an image, and including an introduction in your post on the Padlet.

CONNECT & Reflect:

Read the responses left by other students, watch their videos, and explore the posts on both sharing sites (Padlet and Flipgrid).
Ask clarifying questions to grow the conversation, make connections, and leave quality comments on other readers' posts.
Reflect on how your thinking about your original post has changed, reflect on why your thinking changed, and then revise.

Flipgrid OR Padlet:

Week 3 Blog Post“Roz felt something like Fright the time she saw Brightbill swallowing pebbles on the beach. She was holding him upside down, hoping the pebbles would fall out of his mouth.” What are you afraid of?Ask your parents- What did you do as a toddler that frightened them? What can a character’s biggest fears reveal about the story?

The Wild Robot, Assignment 3.3 Point of View

When we are reading a story, it’s important to know who is telling the story. Is it the main character? Another character in the story? An all-knowing voice beyond the story? This is the point of view. It’s important to know who’s point of view the story is being told from in order to think critically about how their perspective may color the narrative. The same story told from another point of view might look different. To really understand a story it’s important to consider it from multiple perspectives.

Describe the third person point of view that the “Wild Robot” is told from.

Use the information from the POV sketchnote (pictured left) to support your description.

Review the reading guides slides to find quotes from the text to use as examples to support your what you are saying in your essay about point of view.

Why do you think the author chose to write the story from this point of view?

How did the occasional shifts to second person point of view affect your understanding or enjoyment of the story?

The Wild Robot, Assignment 3.4 Beaver Bingo

Note: Teachers can print a paper version of the Bingo Card (that's how I use this activity) or students can use the digital document and right click in the boxes to fill with a color when they have heard a vocabulary term from their Bingo board. This activity would work with any documentary about beavers, but I will be using "American Beaver" from the National Geographic Channel.
