# data[].attributes.body
Students will describe at least one way each character from the discussed short stories confronts/overcomes an identified difficulty.

# data[].attributes.body
Students will create an original short story where the main character encounters/overcomes at least 3 challenges/problems.

# data[].attributes.body
Students will program an Ozobot to act out their story's events using color codes that represent different actions and emotions.

Students will create a storyboard that illustrates the main events of their original story, including character challenges and solutions.

# data[].attributes.body
Read and analyze 2-3 short stories together, focusing on how characters overcome challenges. Create a problem-solution chart for each character.

Demonstrate how Ozobots respond to different color codes. Practice creating simple paths and understanding how different codes create different behaviors.

Create a 6-panel storyboard showing the main events of their story. Include character emotions and actions that can be translated into Ozobot movements.

# data[].attributes.body
Students design and test their Ozobot paths, using color codes to represent different story events and character emotions.

Evaluate students' ability to accurately program their Ozobot to represent their story's events and emotions.

# data[].attributes.body
Check for clear illustration of main events, character challenges, and solutions in the visual representation.

# data[].attributes.body
Selected students present their stories and Ozobot performances to the class. Peers provide positive feedback using 'I noticed...' statements.

# data[].attributes.body
Students complete a reflection: 'What was the most challenging part of creating your character's story? How did you overcome it?'

# data[].attributes.body
Students, in small groups, will utilize their adapted, short story and create a visual storyboard of the events depicted in their writing that includes a pathway for the main character to follow from beginning to end. The codes chosen, therefore, should reflect, as best as possible, the words and meaning of the story.

As part of the completed project, students will complete a copy of the story along with placements of the Ozobot actions (see below). The narrative should focus on the story and not on the turns and movement of the bot. These movements should naturally reflect the storyline instead.

Along the way, the character will need to utilize various movements and speed changes which reflect the action/challenges of the story.

The story/story board should include at least:

• 9 directional codes

straight can only be used at an intersection.

• 1 U-Turn (not at end of line)

• 2 line jumps

• 5 speed changes

• 3 cool moves

• Utilizes a colored marker for affect

Each of these should be documented & numbered in your written story.

Example: (line jump,1), (speed change, 3)

Once completed, make a video that includes the main character following along the narrated story.

• Videos are most effective if the entire story board can be viewed at all times.
