Task 2
Watch the video below which is called 'Girl and Robot.'
girl_and_robot_on_vimeo_477_198.mp4
A brief overview of the video -
The young girl inventor builds a steam powered robot but has trouble getting it started. After turning up her power source too high the machine explodes, spraying cranks, pistons and sprockets around the room.
There is a surprising and touching ending as we discover that the robot is alive and has saved our heroine from a falling girder.
Choose any of the writing tasks below:
- Design your own robot/robots and label with descriptions.
- Create a story which goes beyond the video. The video might only be part of the wider story.
- Create a set of diary pages for the inventor, charting her successes and failures over a week. Perhaps using language to show her frustration.
- What happens next? Maybe the mind of the robot has been saved from destruction and she uses this within a new design (thank you Leo).
- Write instructions for building a robot.
Below are a few useful tools to help you with your writing. Please send me some pictures of your writing.
