IRB Introduction- The Freedom Writers Diary by Erin Gruwell and Freedom Writers

Well, I have heard great things about the movie The Freedom Writers, and after watching it I though it was an outstanding movie, giving me an unfamiliar perspective of different races lives. Although it is a good movie, some parts are partially fabricated to give it some more depth and appeal to audiences, with that being said I thought I mine as well see if there is actually a book, and there is! So, for my independent reading I'm deciding to read The Freedom Writers Diary: How a Teacher and 150 Teens used Writing to Change themselves and the World Around Them.
