The Freedom Writers By The Freedom Writers And Erin Gruwell

Reviewed by A. Maria
The Freedom Writers is a diary written by the English teacher and her students. She was determined to change her them and make them look at things differently. It was hard because it was a ghetto area where there were a lot of gangs, racial fights, and shoot outs. The students didn't believe she was trying to help them and looked at her as a teacher that was probably going to quit once she got tired of dealing with them .She tried getting the school to give them new books and looked for different strategies of teaching them so that they would be more interested in learning. She gave each one a diary to write in and instead of putting names they just put numbers so that their names would be kept confidental. The students wrote about their gang problems and stuff that was going on at home. If you want to find out what happened and if she was successful read the book.
