Engage your students in project-based learning!
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,

Loved using it for my students! Thought-provoking and easy to use.
This was a great comprehension activity and they looked great hung up around my class once they were all done. 10/10 would use again for this novel study.
This was very well organized, and definitely visually appealing! The finished product looks great.
One thing that was a bit misleading was that there was a page focused on "how to conduct research" and really all of the answers that the project is looking for are found within the fictional book, and that should not be considered research.
I think the creator could focus instead on how to skim a book for answers, or maybe how to turn the given questions around (TTQA) in order to fully answer the question. This would make more sense given the fictional nature of this story.
I can't wait to use this next year when we do the Wild Robot as a novel study. It looks really well put together and is a great way to display student work and monitor their understanding. Can't wait to put it to use!
Creative way to display traditional novel study activities!
