Over the next few weeks you will be writing a story. One of the main characters must be a robot. For this week's homework begin writing your orientation on a new google doc.  Focus on character, but you may like to give some thought to where and when your story is taking place. It's OK if you change these details later, however you should also have a complication and resolution in mind, and changing the orientation may affect these. (20minutes)
