Literary Analysis Of Freedom Writers

A significant turning point in the film is represented by a change classroom layout, instead of a conventional layout, students are in rows teacher at top of room, Erin rearranges the desk so that the students are looking, and arguably learning, from each other. In this film M is an accompaniment rather than the a dominant aspect of Erin’s teaching approach. Awareness: What a teacher knows about their students: interests, talents, and concerns, personal histories, family backgrounds, previous results (Fenstermacher and Soltis’, 2004). Erin awareness of students is gained through department scores, discussions with teaching staff and student diary entries.

An article from L.A. Times written by Megan O'Neil discusses the pros and cons of teaching the book in schools. The author interviewed a teacher who supported high schoolers reading the book and she had only positive things to say about the novel, "Capote’s work is a great fit for the class, because it introduces students to the American judicial system and the death penalty, among other contemporary topics. It is also superbly written and allows students to form their own opinions" (Ciotti). Ms. Ciotti believed the book would benefit her students greatly by introducing them to the controversial topics and letting them give their own opinions. A school board president agreed with Ms. Ciotti and had her own reasons for allowing the novel, “I whole-heartedly support the adoption of this book, not just because it is on the AP list, or because it represents a milestone in literature as the first nonfiction novel.

The book The Marshmallow test by Walter Mischel is all about how self-control is the most important thing in society. It really is the engine of success after reading this book. Many people would say a lot of things that are more important to be taught in schools like art and sports, but in my opinion I think how to have self-control is way more important because it teaches kids how to be responsible at a very young age. This book goes into the phycology behind self-control. I was interested in this book for many reasons but the main one is that I had a hard time trying to get stuff done on time because I had no self-control, this book opens eyes.

Children in extreme poverty but are hoping for a better life through education is a sad reality. This documentary was artistically shot in a way that shows how grave the effect of poverty can be on children. It invites viewers to do concrete actions in order to help these children get out of their seemingly hopeless state. Overall, this was a beautiful documentary that managed to expose bleak issues while maintaining the interest of the viewers all throughout; also sparking a fire inside of them to help these children have a better

She uses each child’s top photos in order to publish them in building awareness of the kids situation, as well as providing the feeling accomplishment and entertaining and educational experiences. Zana's ultimate goal, however, is to place all eight children into better education programs so they can have better promising futures outside of the horrible brothel in the Red Light District of India. Zana Briski is not only a filmmaker created a deeply inspirational film but is also a philanthropist who forever changed the lives of eight young children. Although all eight of the children did not make it to better schools and out of the brothel, they have felt the feeling of hope which is something no one can take away from

I truly agree with the author as she has given to the point examples of how these kind of sports are causing harm to the children. I think that she is on the right path to shed light on this topic. The author is not bias, she acknowledges that the competitive sports can be the source of help for the children in the long run. However, her point that these sports cause more harm than the benefit, is totally foolproof. I can say that I experienced this theory first hand when my brother lost the final match in which he lead his school team on a national level.

Since elementary school, teachers have planned lesions to teach their students about the Holocaust in an age appropriate way. Stories from the Holocaust have been documented and told over and over again so people are aware of the horrific events. The Holocaust and other stories about Genocides will never be forgotten and will be continued being told to young students to raise awareness. From learning about these events in school, these stories can be honored, warnings are brought to student’s attention, and now students can take part in preventing these horrible acts.

A balance between a enriching intellectual environment and comfortable living conditions is what all families, especially parents want. This is a constant struggle in the Glass Castle because of the Walls poor living condition, but eagerness to explore and adventure the world. Rex and Rosemary Walls, parents of Lori, Jeannette, Brian, and Maureen, obviously take an exploratory and learning environment over a comforting living space. Although living in rough conditions, which leads to bullying, poverty, I believe that it was more important that the Walls created circumstances for most of the children to explore and enjoy learning. Jeannette Walls, the author and the narrator throughout the book, tells a story about her life from when she was

One 's perspective on an event can completely alter their way of life, and their levels of happiness. This in turn, will have a domino effect on their children, causing them to adapt the same way of looking at life. The power that lies within parents hands to shape their children is very important. In “Glass Castle” by Jeannette Walls and “Angela 's Ashes” by Frank McCourt, it is evident that the parents way of seeing the reality that is their poverty directly affects their children. In the memoirs, Jeanette and Frankie are both able to conquer previous struggles, but Jeanette is able to do so in a more happy manner since her parents are unable to face the reality of their poverty and therefore transform her life into one long adventure, ingrained

Atticus needs to help Scout and Jem understand that some people are good and some people are evil. Prior to this, Scout and Jem had the perspective of adolescent innocence which they assumed all people were good since they had never experienced evil before. Atticus believes and teaches his children that people are commonly both good and evil, but the good usually comes through. This lesson is a very meaningful lesson to learn and is conveyed through the novel for the readers to take in. “To Kill A Mockingbird” is very popular among American high school required reading lists because the coexistence of good and evil is a lesson that everyone should learn.

I hope to one day hear of less children being abused and neglected, like Ursula. It saddens me that this innocent child had to endure a traumatic death. I believe her story has brought awareness to many across the world and that her story lives on to help end abuse and neglect. As a social worker, I will keep her story in mind and do my part to help and advocate against child abuse, in her name. It has been brought to my attention how easily abuse can be overlooked, such as the school aid and teacher being inattentive to Urusula’s odd behavior, it is important to be aware of warning signs and symptoms to end or reduce child

Young kids are so susceptible to persuasion and influence, and these early experiences shape who they are as people later on in life. The book A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah shows just how terrible humans can be. However, it also allows the reader to show the beauty of a human’s spirit. Ishmael continued to be a beautiful person, went through extreme rehab, and is now helping other kids in the same situation as him, overcome the same obstacles. This story shows how such amazing people in human society have come from unfavorable situations.

Education is the key pathway for individuals to transcend poverty and for a nation to succeed economically and socially. I truly believe that teachers help deliver children from poverty through education and break the generational cycle of poverty. So, it felt like such a coincidence to play the role of a public school teach in the poverty simulation. At first it was difficult for me to visualize my classmates as people suffering from poverty. Then I saw the nametag my classmates were wearing.

One Summer Plus made impacts on the teenagers who were present for the study. Even if it does not show up in the statistics, these kids were taught responsibility and how to resolve conflict. They will be able to use that for the rest of their life. I believe that it was more than just the summer jobs, but the people who put the program together should be credited for the success that comes from One Summer Plus.

The problem has gotten so bad that protests and gatherings have plagued the nation. Students bedding for help from the government. Asking democrats and republicans to work together to fix the crisis.
