Freedom Writers

This movie is about a teacher who teaches in a low income community. Throughout the movie the teacher and the students seem to learn a lot from each other. The teacher has the students write in journals about anything they want her to know about them. The teacher was shocked to see how many students wrote about their lives and found a lot more about the individuals as a whole. I found this movie to be very interesting. This seemed like a different approach to get to know your students more. Overall, I think this was a very clever and neat technique to add to teaching.
