Help me give my students a similar experience to what teacher Erin Grunwell gave her classes as outlined in the movie "Freedom Writers". By reading the same novel they did, and recreating the project of writing their own journals in composition books, the students will learn history, write a personal narrative, and find their voice. Writers write what they know, and what do children know better than their own life? By reading a diary of a girl not much older than themselves, they will have many instances to relate and make connections to their own lives. Reading the historical journal will encourage the students to write their own stories.
