Today our class watched part of Wall- E and answered the google classroom post labeled #F07: Cli-Fi Watch Along. Wall- E stands for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-class. He is the last robot left on Earth, and spends his days cleaning up the planet, one piece of garbage at a time.The part of Wall- E we watched today, was mostly no speaking and more sound effects and music. However, he could easily be understood based off of the sounds he made and his body language. The opening song that introduced us to the movie was "Put On Your Sunday Clothes" sang by Micheal Crawford (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdTx0IZUvgY).  While watching Wall- E we examined specific pieces of evidence and composed a strong question based on the evidence we found. We also were asked to relate the evidence we found to Ready Player One. Mr. Rivers also reminded us to avoid guesses/opinion questions, yes/no questions, questions that the film itself answers, and questions without a specific piece of visual, textual, or narrative evidence. 

Wall- E and Ready Player One are very similar in the fact that they both can be categorized under cli- fi. Cli- fi brings to light environmental issues and is becoming widely popular among young readers.
