Book Review: Gruwell Spins Inspirational Story
Summary: 5 Stars
We all have a teacher or mentor that seemed to go above and beyond the call of duty. They were there for us, believing in us when we didn't seem able to believe in ourselves.
Erin Gruwell is definitely one of those individuals, and her example has inspired not just her students but people worldwide. Her desire for others to reach their full potential is clearly seen in her memoir TEACH WITH YOUR HEART. She walks us thorugh not only her desire to encourage greatness, but tells us how sh as able to stay strong in the process as well.
TEACH WITH YOUR HEART is a page-turner that puts you back in the classroom and into the life that many of us remember well. That pat on the back, the occasional "good job" and the motivation to keep going. That is all Erin wanted to give, and look at the results.
Summary of Teach with Your Heart: Lessons I Learned from The Freedom Writers
In this passionate, poignant, and deeply personal memoir and call to arms, Erin Gruwell, the dynamic young teacher who nurtured a remarkable group of high school students from Long Beach, California, who called themselves the Freedom Writers, picks up where The Freedom Writers Diary?and the hit movie The Freedom Writers?left off and brings the reader up to date on where the Freedom Writers are today. Including their unforgettable trip to Auschwitz, where they met with Holocaust survivors; their tour of the attic of their beloved Anne Frank; and their visit to Bosnia with their friend Zlata Filipovic, Teach With Your Heart chronicles what happened with the Freedom Writers as they made their way through college and beyond. Along the way, Gruwell includes lessons for parents and teachers about what she learned from her remarkable band of students as she traveled through the emotional peaks and valleys on the front lines of our nation?s educational system. A mesmerizing story of one young woman?s personal odyssey and of her remarkable ability to encourage others to follow in her footsteps, Teach With Your Heart is marked by the enviable radiance and irrepressible force of nature that is Erin Gruwell and her unbelievable determination to ensure that education in the United States truly meets the needs of every student.Memoirs Books
