The Freedom Writers Diary: How a Teacher and 150 Teens Used Writing to Change Themselves and the World Around Them - Erin Gruwell

A Written Freedom

Advantages: inspiring true story of courage, dedication and freedom
Disadvantages: some violence

immerses herself and tries to dig deeper into root cause of the problem by providing creative learning class activities. Until she realized that each of the students have their own stories to tell. With that, she encourages them to write daily journal of their thought and experiences in whatever means of writing they wanted it to be presented. Slowly they become a family to each other. As a result, The Freedom Writers Diary was written in which this movie was based. Erin Grunell is an effective educator, passionate leader, a good example to look up to. Such a remarkable character! I want to quote a bit of Erin?s dialogue in the movie, which I think would exemplify more of her character. This was her statement: ?I finally realized what I?m supposed to be doing and I love it. When I?m helping these kids makes sense of their lives, everything ...

Review of Freedom Writers

HOW TO WRITE A CD OP FOR A CONSUMER

Advantages: See review
Disadvantages: see review

the purpose of the Opinion-giving someone the information they need to make a choice about buying the product. A lot of information about the artist is not necessary and while it might be useful can detract form the effectiveness and readability of the opinion. By the same token a detailed description of every track can have the same effect, remember that trying to describe music using written words is quite a challenge that not everyone has the ability to do effectively.

HOW TO WRITE - MY OPINION

Advantages: writing good opinions recives postive feedback and is therefore very satisfying
Disadvantages: none

writing your opinion is to break it up into paragraphs. There is nothing more daunting than reading a 1000-word opinion that is one whole piece of text. It is very hard on the eyes and if you are distracted - something that happens frequently in this house, it is hard to find you’re way again. No matter how good the writer, or how interesting the opinion/information it is hard going. ~~~Length of your opinion~~~ This is something that I think attracts 'churners' when I first came to Ciao the minimum word length was 90 words, roughly six lines of text, it was all too easy to write an opinion using 90 words. The 'helpfulness' of those opinions was very questionable! One user threw down a challenge - write a very helpful opinion in 90 words. Many users took part in this - some of the top Ciaoers, everyone found it very very difficult ...
