Throughout our study of The Freedom Writers Diary and viewing of the film, you will be responsible for completing four journal entries. Please be honest and open in your responses. Take time to think about what you want to say and how you want to say it. I want you to be meticulous, and, along with practicing your writing skills, I want you to take into consideration the power of your words and the power of your voice.
Each of your responses should be at least 175 words. (As a comparison, this entry is 186 words.) Take note of when the entry should be completed and posted to the blog. Remember to practice your writing conventions as you respond! While the majority of your grade will be based on the thoroughness of your answers, you will also be graded on your writing conventions. I know sometimes it's easy to go into "text-writing mode" when you are typing on a blog, but this is a graded English writing assignment, not a Facebook post, so be mindful of your capital letters and your "u"s and "lol"s.
