- 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: Notice how your perception of the word "Monster" compares to others on the Padlet or Flipgrid. How has your thinking about this word changed? How might what you have learned change how you "see" other topics that are not related to this text, like bias, injustice, or discrimination?
- 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:
Add a link to your post on this Padlet, or choose the video option and use Flipgrid--but please practice good citizenship. Use your first name, or the name of your class, and your state/country. Don't be more specific than that for your own safety-no last names or town/school names. Also these boards are monitored, so please know that if your content is not school appropriate it won't get approved.
The Wild Robot, Assignment 4.3
The Wild Robot, Assignment 4.3
Character traits are all of the aspects of a person's behavior and attitudes that make up that person's personality. Everyone has character traits, both good and bad. Character traits are often shown with descriptive adjectives, like patient, unfaithful, or jealous. Characters are developed through their thoughts, speech, actions:
- ACTIONS: sometimes speak louder than words.
- What does the character do?
- How does the character behave? Actions sometimes speak louder than words.
- INTERACTIONS: You can tell a lot about a character based on how they treat other people and as well as how they are treated by others.
- What is revealed through the character’s effect on other people?
- How do other characters feel or behave in reaction to the character?
- THOUGHTS: If the character you are analyzing is also the narrator in a first person point of view story, you have an additional layer of information because you get to know what the character is thinking. "The Wild Robot" is not written from the first person point of view, but we still know what most of the characters are thinking. As we learned in week 3, lesson 4.3, this is called the third person omniscient point of view.
- What conflicts are revealed through the character’s private thoughts and feelings?
- What are the characters hopes, dreams, worries, or wishes?
- SPEECH:
- What does the character say?
- How does the character speak?
- Explore the slide deck and think about how the author used the intentional naming of characters as an additional way to describe them.
- In the beginning of the story the wild robot introduces herself as Rozzum unit 7314, but later she is just Roz. She is a dynamic character who evolves and changes over the course of the story and her nickname is further evidence of her evolution as she sheds her robotic mannerisms and adapts to her wild environment.
