I Am Eleven
This week the teachers announced a Huia syndicate trip to Wellington to see the movie I Am Eleven. It follows the story of 15 eleven year olds from countries across the world.
From the trailer have a go at answer these questions:
I was interested in learning girls from India who talked about caring for kids in the orphanage. Do you remember any of the kids from the trailer? What made them memorable for you?
What would you do if you could change the world?
Why do you think the film maker decided to talk to 11 year olds?
How do you think this movie fits with our school topic of globalisation?

Hi Stephanie
ReplyDeleteI remember the little girl playing with a ball, she looked so happy and content.
I would like to make world peace so that everyone is happy.
I think the film maker talked to 11 year olds because they're not quite children but they're not quite teenagers.
It fits with globalisation because they are 11 year olds from around the world.

It is telling as about globalisation and what it means.
Hi Stephanie
ReplyDeleteI remember the girl whos country is in the middle of the war. I also remmeber the girl who takes care at the orphanage even known she broke her arm she stills helps.

I think the film maker wanted to show us about other peoples lives like whats going on here and there.
I think it fits in by showing us the world and how others are having problems.

Hi Ms. Thompson
ReplyDeleteThe one I probably remeber the most is that boy that was playing with his sisters because he said he didn't want inequalities.
Things I would change in the world, probably all the wars.
I think the producer pick 11 year old people because their in the middle of being kids and being teenagers.
It fits with globalisation probably because it had people from other countries and what happened to them.

so I can see how much of a deference
it would change to the world.
