WALL-E

Consider the film WALL-E. Think about the media represented in the film and how it relates to the things we learned about in class and your own life.

1. What different forms of media did you see? List as many different media formats as you can (give examples when possible)

2. What do you think the main message is in the movie? What did the writers of Wall-e want you to think about when you were watching the film?


3. Would you want to live on the Axion? Explain why you would or would not like to live there.


Once you have answered the questions, raise your hand to have the teacher read through your responses to make sure they are all level 4 and then hit submit (as many times as you need to to get the message "your comment will be visible after moderation") and then you can check out the Wall-e games below!
(Level 4 answers are necessary and you must show your level 4 answers to the teacher before hitting submit in order to proceed to the games)

Some Eye-Opening Facebook Facts



Take a moment to read through these Facebook facts and watch the video. It is clear from this information that FACEBOOK IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE!! I noticed many of you mentioned that you feel that Facebook is "evil" and that nothing good can come of Facebook. When used properly, Facebook has the potential to be a VERY useful site! I was glad to see that so many of you mentioned that Facebook users are to be 13 or older. Why do you think that is?
