Then write a diary entry about Erin Gruwell’s first day at school. What do you think about her? What assumptions do you make? Do you want her to succeed or not? If you are writing as Erin, what are your ambitions and how do you think you’ll make them happen?

B) The students in Freedom Writers write letters to Miep Gies to tell her about themselves, what they thought about the book they've read and their thoughts about Miep Gies herself. Now you choose a character from Freedom Writers and you write your letter to him/her. You can write about the same things that the Freedom Writers did:
