An inspiring and eye-opening story about how a young high school teacher and her "at-risk" students used the power of writing to challenge themselves and change their lives into a success story. The book is a series of diary entries from the students anchored by entries from Erin Gruwell, their teacher.
"The Freedom Writers Diary" by the Freedom Writers with Erin Gruwell.
On my "to-read" list is the book that followed as teachers began using Erin's methodology.
"Teaching Hope: Stories from the Freedom Writer Teachers and Erin Gruwell" by the Freedom Writer Teachers with Erin Gruwell
I just realized Paramount has made a movie based on the book, starring Hillary Swank (2007). It's now on my "to-watch" list.
