THE FREEDOM WRITERS DIARY
How a Teacher and 150 Teens Used Writing to Change Themselves and the World Around Them
Paperback
By the Freedom Writers with Erin Gruwell. This remarkable work centers on 142 diary pieces written by high school students in Long Beach, California under the guidance of teacher Erin Gruwell. After reading Anne Frank, Zlata Filipovic, and others, students begin to see the violence and abuse in their own lives. Dubbing themselves "Freedom Writers," they keep diaries on ways to change themselves and bring more tolerance and justice into the world. Student entries and eight by Gruwell serve as strong models for journal keepers. Note: some strong language. Grades 7–12. Epilogue. Illustrated. Broadway Books. 280 pages.
