"Coming Soon: In theaters March 6."
"After being kidnapped by two criminals during birth, Chappie becomes the adopted son in a strange and dysfunctional family. Chappie is preternaturally gifted, one of a kind, a prodigy. He also happens to be a robot."
"Every child comes into the world full of promise, and none more so than Chappie: he is gifted, special, a prodigy. Like any child, Chappie will come under the influence of his surroundings - some good, some bad - and he will rely on his heart and soul to find his way in the world and become his own man. But there's one thing that makes Chappie different from anyone else: he is a robot. The first robot with the ability to think and feel for himself. His life, his story, will change the way the world looks at robots and humans forever. Written by Sony Pictures Entertainment"

A Literacy Coach Reflects on Chappie...
"This work is highly connected to the Asimov I Robot series of short stories and novels (click for e-book version, linked to Capek's R.U.R. (click for e-book version), and to Robbie, Asimov's first story (click for e-book version). The concept of an increasingly empathetic robot is closely aligned to the Data character in the Star Trek Voyager series. Students can argue for or against the definition of an increasingly empathetic human-like robot, or for a separation between "robothood" and personhood, as words and concepts. They can connect this fictional story to actual current marketing copy for new tech products, like empathetic and emotionally reflective robots." The movie and its multiple perspectives can be viewed and commented and retold by students who will be developing and refining Literacy skills as they grapple with highly relevant and captivating current issues."

This work is highly connected to the Asimov I a Robot series of short stories and novels as well linked to Capek's RUR and to Robbiem Asimov's first story. The concept of an increasingly empathetic robot is closely aligned to Data in the Star Trek Voyager series. Students can argue for or against the definition of an increasingly empathetic human like android or for a separation between a robotic function and personhood. They can catalogue and connect this fictional story to current marketing and science technology development of increasingly empathetic speech and emotion reflective robots. To what extent should personhood be a part of the word "robot" or not? The movie and its multiple perspectives can be viewed and commented and retold by robots.
