The Freedom Writers: Movie

The Freedom writers is a very good movie. The Teacher Erin Gruwell doeas such a great job at getting the kids to work together instead of against eachother. This movie is based off of a true story, and I can beleive it. I come from a very diverse High School and I was in a speech class with so many different races and groups of friends. My teacher Mr. Pop reminds me alot of the techer in the film. As what started out as a class segragated to there own groups to every single person in that class became my friend! We all even took speech 2 togther because my teachers skills were good and got us all to accept and enjoy eachother even with all of our differences, and I learned so much in those 2 classes. Freedom Writers also shows how kids with no want or care to go to school to come with the right teacher skills and attitude, this happened with a few kids in my speech class as well , my teahcer got them to want to come to class. I loved the movie The Freedom Writers and would encourage anyone who hasnt seen the movie to go out and watch this insipring film.
1. Some hopes Erin has starting her new job is any hope for a teacher to teach the kids and have a good year not knowing what is coming to her
2.Some challeges she faced were the kids in her class who did not get along with one another all in groups and segragated. They didnt have any respect for her so they didnt listen and did what they wanted and started fights and caused a rough time.
3. A student Eva's boyfriend, Paco, goes by a convienent store to attempt  a drive-by shooting, trying to kill a guys but misses, accidentally killing cindy's boyfriend. Eva is a witness, and has to testify at court and she intends to protect her own kind in her testimony.
4. When they all didnt care about school and had no intention of graduation they had no motivation to do good at all in class thinking they never had a chance anyway.
5. She gradually earns thier trust starting off by teaching them about racism in the holocost and buying them new books and giving them hope.
6. I thought that the journals and sharing was one of the best teaching skills
7. Erin thought it was a good idea to choose a book for them to read that in some way would relate to their own lives such as the diary of ann frank
8. It seemed like the teachers and even the principle of the school and little faith in the kids education which was upsetting. She had to pleed with the principle in order to tech them for another year. All the other teachers seemed to have no hope compared to Erin herself.
9. Erin never gave up on the students learning and no matter who they were or what background she had high expectaions that they tried and did their best. She even got a second job so she could provide them with books she had high hopes for these students.
10. I learned to never give up on my students and have faith that any student can do it. I also learned that even when it get frusterating to not give up on my own self in teaching and know that I can do it and always to keep on trying. And have the highest positivity towards my students along with giving them hope and realting to them.
