A wonderfully inspiring teacher named Erin Gruwell and her high school students, who became incredible authors, inspired a movie called "Freedom Writers". You may have seen the movie. If not, we'll watch (at least parts of) it this year. I don't want to give much away, but it's the kind of movie that makes you realize that you - yes YOU - can change your own life, and maybe even the lives of others around you. The power of writing is incredible.
Writing reflects thinking. Writing promotes thinking. This year, we'll explore ways that we can make change through our writing.
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, dedicated people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead
