Freedom Writers

-Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank
-Zlata's Diary: A Child's Life In Wartime by Zlata Filipovic
-Teach With Your Heart: Lessons I Learned From The Freedom Writers by Erin Gruwell

Comment: I love that this book wasn't edited. It brings such a real quality to my reading experience. It gives me such insight into what the actual situation was like, social and educationally (grammar) within room 203. It also gives me such hope for the future.

Question: I am always so amazed at field trips, speakers, events, etc that Ms Gruwell is able to pull together. Is this a high standard for teachers who expect to have a balanced life?
