The Wild Robot 7/22-7/29

Try to get caught up by reading chapters 32-50 and then try your best to get to Chapter 60.

Review these questions from last week:

1. What do you notice about how the animals are responding to Roz? How are their attitudes changing? What lesson can you learn from their actions? (Ch 32 & 33)

2. How does the garden start to change Roz’s life? (Ch 34)

3. What are your first impressions of Chitchat? Do you think he will make a good friend for Brightbill? Why or why not? Would you like him as a friend (Ch 37)?

4. Roz and Brightbill had many questions about the mysterious ship, but no answers. Try to answer…where did the ship come from? Where was it going? Who was on board? Can you think of any other questions about the ship?

If we get through these, we will go on to discuss these questions:

See you Wednesday at noon!   MC 😃

1. What do you notice about how the animals are responding to Roz? How are their attitudes changing? What lesson can you learn from their actions? (Ch 32 & 33)

2. How does the garden start to change Roz’s life? (Ch 34)

3. What are your first impressions of Chitchat? Do you think he will make a good friend for Brightbill? Why or why not? Would you like him as a friend (Ch 37)?

The Wild Robot Ch 6,7,8,9 and 10

 

Once again, here are the questions:

1.  How did Roz end up on the island?

2.    Describe Roz.  Once she enters the world, what emotion does she feel?  How would you feel if you were Roz?

3.    “Animal sounds filled the forest. Chirps and wingbeats and rustlings in the underbrush. And then, from the sea cliffs, there came new sounds. Heavy, crunching footsteps. The forest animals fell silent, and from their hiding places they watched as a sparkling monster stomped past.” (p. 16) – Describe what the animals must be thinking.

4.    The book continues on to state “the forest was not comfortable place for Roz.”  What makes the forest a difficult place for Roz?  How must she adapt?

See you Wednesday at Noon (12:00pm). 🤖MC
