The Freedom Writers Diary Teacher's Guide by Erin Gruwell, The Freedom Writers

3.0

My high school students really like book, so I finally got to reading it. It definitely draws you in and, as a teacher, I was amazed by so much: the crap going on in the kids' lives, the dedication Gruwell showed, and the way the community pulled behind her when her school wouldn't. I found some letters I'd like to pull out and read with students, using them as a model for writing.
