Here are a few questions for you to answer today, write your answers in your own blog.

1. Why did Ms Gruwell have the Freedom Writers study the Holocaust and meet Holocaust survivors?

2. How did the Freedom Writers relate to Anne Frank? Give examples.

3. In what way Zlata Filipovic impacted the students’ lives? Give examples from several writers. What really surprised the Freedom writers?

4.In diary 47, the writer says: ”Now if you ask me what race I am, like Zlata, I’ll simply say, “I’m a human being.””
