The Freedom Writers Diary (20th Anniversary Edition): How a Teacher and 150 Teens Used Writing to Change Themselves and the World Around Them

When I was in the 10th grade this book was used in my English Literature class. I was not too excited about it partly because the students were not given a copy to read from it. We were read from it. Can you imagine you are in the 10th grade and the teacher reads you a diary entry from a book. I felt stupid I know how to read. I wanted to read but it was not in the classroom library and I don't recall it being in the school library. We were read an entry each day and told to write our own. The book itself is an inspiration but to have each class imitate the curriculum ? It's ok if we were given books to read. I do very much like this book I would have liked the opportunity to have read it in high school. Just a tip to future teachers, inspire us let us read it, don't read to us.

I seen this movie one weekend,and weirdly when I got back to school my writting teacher announcedthat we were going to be reading the book, we still are and sofaw it is an amazing book and alot of teen in ytear 2011 can relate to this book, such as myself.!

Haven't yet to read the book but its definitely worth the read I just finished the movie and it's crazy how impactful one person can be. Truth is you should always want to be better so dont be like the last person or family member dont follow the bad foot steps just because it's getting hard try something new and try make a impact even if it's small you, you could inspire someone to read this book and the movie did for me and that in it self is something to be proud of and I may not read this book straight away but i know how the story goes I would highly recommend the read.
