Description
When Gruwell was a first-year high school teacher in Long Beach, CA, teaching the
'unteachables' (kids that no other teacher wanted to deal with), she discovered that most of her
students had not heard of the Holocaust. Shocked, she introduced them to books about
toleranceAfirst-person accounts by the likes of Anne Frank and Zlata Filopvic, who chronicled her
life in war-torn Sarajevo. The students were inspired to start keeping diaries of their lives that
showed the violence, homelessness, racism, illness, and abuse that surrounded them. These
student diaries form the basis of this book, which is cut from the same mold as Dangerous Minds:
the outsider teacher, who isn't supposed to last a month, comes in and rebuilds a class with tough
love and hard work. Most readers will be proud to see how these students have succeeded; at the
end of their four-year experience, the Freedom WritersAas they called themselves, in honor of the
Freedom Riders of the 1960sAhad all graduated; Grunwell now works at the college level,
instructing teachers on how to provide more interactive classes for their students. Recommended
