Field Experiences
The Freedom Writers with Erin Gruwell. The Freedom Writers Diary: How a Teacher and 150 Teens Used Writing to Change Themselves and the World Around Them. New York: Broadway Books, 1999.
Dr. Walseth chose this book because:
“Erin Gruwell and her students share their personal stories, both triumphant and tragic, of life in an inner city school. We all need to hear more about such dedicated, amazing teachers and the profound effects they have on the lives of their students.”
