Since 2016, readers from around the world have been captivated by the adventure novel, The Wild Robot, written by Peter Brown. Whether it is the intriguing plot, the dynamic character development, or the unforgettable resolution, there is so much to love about this novel.
For this project, students complete 12 activities related to The Wild Robot and construct a 12-sided polyhedron called a dodecahedron to showcase their learning. These can be hung from the ceiling and are beautiful on display.
For each pentagon, students are asked to answer the guiding questions and complete the challenges through conducting research. To communicate their learning, students write and draw pictures within each pentagon. After completing the 12 pentagons, students follow step-by-step instructions to construct their dodecahedrons.

Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a student-centered pedagogy in which students are challenged to actively learn about a subject for an extended period of time. It is a form of active learning or inquiry-based learning. Project-Based Learning is in contrast to paper-based, rote memorization, or teacher-led instruction that presents established facts. Please be aware of what you are purchasing.
Thanks so much,

My students loved using this resource during our book study The Wild Robot.
I love this way for students to show how well they understood what they read. This was such a fun activity.
My students LOVED this activity! It gave them an opportunity to share what they learned about the novel in a creative way. I also loved the additional pieces for students who wanted to have lines!
My students love doing dodecohedrons for their lit studies. This was a lot of fun and a little challenge for the kids. A great way to round out our novel study and prepare for the movie! Thanks for this resource!
As a homeschooling mom, I created a book club for my boys to encourage reading different types of books. The wild Robot was pur second book and we used this as we were reading the book. My boys enjoyed working on the blank pages
