      I am getting anxious because I really want to see this film. If I could give an honest answer about if the film falls under the category of globalization which we are currently learning I would say that it DEFINITELY falls under that category.

      I'm really excited about watching this film, looks interesting and I may be able to learn a thing or two by watching this. If I could change the world I would stop war and bring the world peace and hapiness.

      Im looking forwards to 'i am eleven' . I think what i would say if i got asked What would you do if you could save the world, I would say factory farming because its sad,pointless and cruel,animals dont deserve it.
      Why do I think the director decided to talk to eleven yr olds ? Well, 11 yr olds are not teens or not kids so instead of speaking to adults (like normal) and speak to 11yr olds instead, it will be interesting!

    I am looking forward to the movie "I Am Eleven" because it would be interesting and could be emotional. This movie "I Am Eleven" fits with Globalization because all these 11 year old kids are from all around the world.

    I think the film will fit in with globalisation because the film-maker was asking the children questions like what would you do if you could change the world and some of them would answer about the relationship between different countries.

    I want to see I Am Eleven because Remi wanted the world to be one big country.

    And I Am Eleven fits into Globalization because it shows what 11 year olds think of the world.

    I am excited for the I am eleven documentary. One character that stood out to me was Vandana because she was talking about Pakistan and India fighting. I know all about this because my mum and dad told me and they were born in India. There is a border between India and Pakistan and this is where the war is happening.

    I'm excited about this movie because I don't know what I would do if I could change the world and I want to know what the eleven year olds in the film will do if they could change the world. I also want to know what it feels like to be an 11 year old from different countries.

    I am really looking forward to seeing the I AM ELEVEN documentary because I want to hear Remi's full opinion about why he thinks France is a shellfish country and why he would get rid of all the borders in the world. I think this film will be very interesting and meaningful.

    I'm looking forward to watching this movie because we can learn what other eleven year olds think of their country. If I could change the world I would make it so there is no war and every one can have enough food and water. I think it would be interesting to learn about the different kids perspectives about where they come from and the world.

    Miss Caviglia I am so excited to see the movie because I want to see what the eleven year olds have to say.

    These are my answers for the 5 questions:

    The stand out kid for me was Vandana because she takes care of the people in her orphanage.

    If I could change the world I would change poverty because it's really sad seeing people on the side of the streets, under bridges or searching for food in a rubbish bin because they can't afford a house or food and water.

    I think the film director chose to talk to eleven year olds because they aren't teenagers yet and still have a long time their adults but, they are still smart and know not to grow up too fast.

    I think the movie fits in with globalisation becasue the eleven year olds that are in the movie are from all over the globe and have grown up from different places in the world and have different things to say.

    What would I do if I could change anything in the world I would change the fact that everything getting is way too expensive and too many people are living on the streets and dont have roofs over their heads,so we shall be thankful we have a bit of money even though we aren't the richest people on earth. And poverty is terrible because you can die of starvation and no water.:)

    I can't wait for the I am eleven movie, because the one person that inspired me was Billy.
    He loves to do boxing, so do I. He also loves dirty dancing because the romance and dance moves. I want to know more about him. Can't wait for the movie and snacks plus Billy. I would change the world by giving the right amount of food and money for every family. That's all

    I think that the I am eleven documentary connects to the globalization topic because the documentary is about eleven year olds talking about GLOBALIZASTION issues. If I could change one thing in the world it would be to rid the world of painful and harmful things such as guns and other war machines. I am excited about the I am eleven documentary because I want to know what other eleven year olds think about the worlds issues.

    What did you think of the film? What would you score it out of 10? Why?
    I thought the film was quite boring and could have been more interesting. I would rate it 6/10.

    Who is your favorite 11 year old? Why? Has this changed from your initial thoughts when we watched the trailers?
    My favorite 11 year old was Jack because all he wanted to do to change the word was erase all the borders.

    What has stuck in your mind from the film? Is there anything that you are still thinking about? I'm still thinking about how the kids that lived in first person worlds seemed more selfish than others who lived in third person worlds.

    What would you like to find out more about from the film?
    What they would be like in there 20's while they are adults to see how there opinion would have changed

    What made you laugh/cry/cringe in the film?
    What made me laugh was Billy's reactions towards the questions.

    What did you think of the film? What would you score it out of 10? Why?
    I liked the movie very much, It was very interesting about 11 year old across the world and I score an eight.

    Who is your favourite 11 year old? Why? Has this changed from your initial thoughts when we watched the trailers? My favourite was
    Jack because he was interesting and said that he wanted to erase the boarders around the world.

    What has stuck in your mind from the film? Is there anything that you are still thinking about?
    Not really apart from that it was a good documentary.

    What would you like to find out more about from the film? When the kids get even older I would like to know what jobs do they have.

    What made you laugh/cry/cringe in the film?
    Billy's quotes. (dirty dancing!)
