1. The movie begins with a military tale. This is to show the war between different races. It also shows the school situation there. They are in a 10 class, which is now getting a new teacher. She’s called Mrs. Gruwell. She’s married and has two more jobs. The students of the school are all against each other. Every day there's a problem and the gangs are all against each other. That's what Mrs. Gruwell wants to change. Her class should work together and not against each other. Thus, she welds the class more together day by day. She even succeeds. The students work on their own diary. They are putting together many projects that Ms. Gruwell is organizing. They realize that they can help each other and are even stronger. At the end of the film, it's about whether the class can continue to keep Mrs. Gruwell as a teacher. Normally she doesn’t teach 11th classes. But after several conversations she’s allowed to teach the class farther. The students are very grateful to Mrs. Gruwell. She has put her hand in the fire for the complete class.
2. I like Eva the most. I think she‘s very helpful to her classmates. She has been through a lot, which makes her look strong. I think it's very good that she has learned to lie in the film. I think also she has a strong and emotional side, which I like.
3. In the end of the film they are very helpful. Our class is also helpful and I think that‘s similar.
4. In my opinion a teacher must be helpful and they should help the students. They should understand the studends when they have problems and they should conside this. Maybe them they can help, too.
5. I think that's because she has more success. She teaches students differently than her colleagues. She and her students having fun with each other and yet they write good grades.

 The character that I would like to focus on from “Freedom Writers” is Marcus. In my opinion this character has the most heart-breaking and warming parts in the film. What I’ve noticed about this character is a consistent, innate loyalty that I believe stems mostly from his roots.

From what may be gleaned of his microsystem, Marcus’s truly differentiating factor was his mother. There is no mention of a father-figure, and the only other influences may be only the other neighborhood kids he grew up with early on. Since the character of Marcus seems so very loyal to all those he cares for, I’m going to make the assumption that his mother spent a lot of time instilling the idea of loyalty into Marcus. The neighborhood he lives in may have had gangs there, which is what led him to start affiliating with them. The loyalty his mother influenced was probably a very attractive quality to these same gangs, given that one of the whole points of a gang is to gain protection from your peers.

the Freedom Writers Movie is based in a real story about a teacher (Erin Gruwell) who changed the lives of young people separated by their ethnicities. Mrs. G, as her class calls her, is a first timer and she never really expects the type of class she is getting. Everyone in her class is disrespectful and seems to be gangsters, and do not care about school or their futures at all.  The last straw is broken when an incident happens and she compares it to the start of the holocaust. This is a reality check for both, her and her students.   As the year goes along Mrs. G finds different dynamics and projects that show her students that they are not as different after all. Therefore, she asks them to write in a notebook journal about their lives, and what they consider to make their teacher to know about them, all their different stories.
According to all her students' past, their lives, their stories, Mrs. G knows which is her responsability now, to make each of them reach their goals and make them believe in themselves no matter which situation they will face throughout their lives; but Mrs. G will face some other obstacles that will not let her down until she completes her proposal.

A girl was beaten at home, because their parents could not afford the rent.

from a student his best friend shot himself next to him and he had to go to a jail. everyone wrote something horrible and Erin imagines how the students would tell it. Many words like wars, shootings, soldiers, jails came often in their exercises books. Erin shows her father a few exercises books and she is worried, because her students are 14- 16 Years old. The father simply recommends Erin to do her job and gain experience. She is looking for a second job so she can finance the books and a trip for the students. She is looking for discounts in libraries. She talks with a black man from the school board. She wants to make trips with the class but for that need the students good grades. She says that the Principal doesn't need to know about it. She goes to a part-time job on the weekend, but her husband doesn't want it.

She wants the book Romeo and Juliet, but the principal doesn't want that the books be destroyed. The principal tells that the students should learn something different, like discipline. Erin talks with a man, but he says she doesn't know the students and they won't read the books. Then she looks at the children in the schoolyard as they play. Erin has the idea to make a red line in the middle of the classroom and when anything applies to the students, they should stand at the red line. She asks many questions so she can get to know the students better. But when she asked if the students had lost someone in a gang war, all are on the red line. Erin is very surprised when she sees that. She bought exercise books to bring the students to write something about their lives. She won't read it, Only when the students placed the exercise books in her cupboard which is closed after every lesson. At the beginning, no one picks up an exercise book. Then only one student came and picks up an exercise book. At home Erin talks with his husband about Eva.

There was a boy coming forward who wanted to read from his diary. The students wondered who that is and they don't even know the name. He wrote that he is homeless and he has no more. Nevertheless, he goes to school and since Ms. Gruwell is there, everything is better for him. Meanwhile, he feels at home in school. He wears old hair and thus he feels uncomfortable.

A girl from the advanced course wants to switch to Ms. Gruwell. Her husband is offended and says she can't teach the student because the level is too high. In the end, he still apologizes to her.

The students read the book of Anne Frank and Eva goes to Mrs. Gruwell and asks her things about the book, but she should continue to read. Eva does not want Anne Frank to die because that doesn't fit the book and Marcus says she isn't death to him. He also says that Anne Frank understands the situation of the students.

Students drive to New York with Mrs. Gruwell. There they go to a Holocaust museum. Everyone gets a card, where a picture of a child is on it. You will learn about these children in this museum. At the end of the visit, they will learn whether the child died on the map or not.

A little later, they go to a restaurant together. There they meet older people who tell them about this time. One woman says that the camp in Auschwitz is the worst camp. She was separated from her entire family.

# data[].attributes.body
Marcus goes to his mother and tells her that he wants to go home. He needs her help because he thinks he will not make it on his own. He wants to change.

Eva is in the courtroom and needs statements. She says that a boy played at the slot machine and lost. This made him angry and wanted to have his money back. He overturned things. At first she can't say who it was. But then she says "Poco shot him." Eva is followed by her gang and they say that Eva died for them, she goes to Ms. Gruwell and tells her about it, she lives with her aunt for now Ms. Gruwell, if she can do her homework at school and she says yes, if it gets too late, Ms. Gruwell drives Eva home, there are more and more students coming to school, doing their homework, having fun with each other.

Ms. Gruwell comes home and talks about her beautiful day. She goes to the bedroom and she, that her husband has packed his things. She sat down together at a table and talked about it. Her husband receives too little attention and thinks the children are more important to her. She prefers to be at school rather than at home. Erin says that she wants to help the children find their meaning in life and that they have fulfilled their task.

# data[].attributes.body
Part 8
Ms. Gruwell is only allowed to teach the 9th and 10th grade. The students are dissatisfied with that since they are in the 11th grade. They have become like a family to each other and they do not want to lose.

At home, she packs things for her husband. She just can not believe she is getting divorced from her husband. Her dad is with her and tells her how proud he is of her. That she has really achieved a lot and that she has changed the students into a positive one.

The next day, Ms. Gruwell discusses with the director and 3 other lessons. She wants to keep the class and continue to teach her in the 11th grade and also in the 12th grade. First it is rejected and the students do not want that. Andrew has been missing several times over the last few days because his brother has been sentenced.

The students tell Ms. Gruwell that they have respect for her. They think she wouldn't graduate without her. Ms. Gruwell says that she should not make it dependent on her and that she can also graduate alone and achieve much in her life. The students are given the task of writing their diaries as a book. You should choose a title for this book and a name. Ms. Gruwell has said that this book is likely to be published.

Ms. Gruwell talks to the teachers again and it turns out that she is allowed to teach the students in the 11th and 12th grade. They are all happy. At the end a class photo will be shown and there is Erin Gruwell and Freedom writers 2006.

1. The film is about a teacher who is new to a school. At first she is happy to go to school and thinks it isn't so hard to teach the students. But when the students came to the classroom, they noticed that they are very restless and that many are missing. The students do not listen to Ms. Gruwell, they talk to each other and argue. The next few days, fewer and fewer students come to school. Ms. Gruwell is trying hard to get the kids to their senses. She wants everyone to graduate and that they believe in themselves. She reads the book of Anne Frank with the students. Ms. Gruwell thinks the children can compare with that because their lives are also dangerous. As a task, the students get to write a diary themselves. Every day they should write down what they did, what worries them, or what happened, which may depress them. Together they go to a museum and they get the students under control. The students believe in themselves and want to graduate. The class grows together as a family and they all get on well. However, Ms. Gruwell has problems with her husband because he feels neglected. He eventually moves out and they even divorce.

2. I like Eva the most because she is a strong person and has been through a lot. She is committed to things and does not want to hear from anyone. She does what she thinks is right and I like that.

3. The class sticks together and they all understand each other.

4. I find it important for a teacher to give courage to the students. You should tell them that you can do something and support the students. That they can listen well, would also be important.
In addition, they shouldn't put pressure on anyone, because that stresses a lot.

5. I think some colleagues don't like them because they do a lot different from the other teachers. She works for her students and tries everything to get her way. She also wants to continue teaching to her students, although she is not allowed to do so by law.

Zum Anfang des Films wurden Kriegsszenen gezeigt. Dazu zählten Brände, Streitigkeiten mit Waffen und so weiter. Das Ganze geschah in Hollywood. Es wurde ein Mädchen gezeigt. An ihrem ersten Schultag, bekam sie den Krieg zum ersten Mal so richtig mit. Sie hörte schon einiges aus den Nachrichten, doch richtig bekam sie es nie mit. An dem Tag ihrer Einschulung wartete sie vor der Haustür auf ihren Vater. Er wollte sie zur Schule fahren. Sie wünschte ihrem Nachbar, der ebenfalls gerade an der Straße stand einen guten Morgen und dann passierte es. Ein Auto kam angefahren und erschoss ihn aus dem Auto heraus. Ihr Vater eilte zu ihm und probierte zu helfen. Als die Polizei eintraf, nahmen sie ihren Vater fest, da er nun verdächtigt wurde. Das Mädchen ging in die Schule und wurde direkt in eine Gang aufgenommen. In der Schule war alles in Rassen und die jeweiligen Gangs gegliedert. An der Schule gab es eine neue Lehrerin, Frau Gruwell. Sie freute sich so sehr, endlich zu unterrichten. Doch als sie die erste Schulstunde hatte, war es ganz anders, als sie es sich vorstellte. Die Schüler waren respektlos zu ihr. Auch unter sich waren sie nicht respektvoll. Keiner hörte zu. Frau Gruwell wusste nicht, wie sie damit umgehen sollte. Sie war sprachlos. Die nächsten Tage verliefen genauso. Es gab unzählige Schlägereien in der Schule.

War scenes were shown at the beginning of the film. These included fires, arms disputes and so on. The whole thing happened in Hollywood. There was a girl shown. On her first day of school, she really got the hang of the war for the first time. She heard a lot from the news, but she never got it right. On the day of her school enrollment, she waited for her father at the front door. He wanted to drive her to school. She wished her neighbor, who was also standing on the road, a good morning and then it happened. A car came up and shot him out of the car. Her father hurried to him and tried to help. When the police arrived, they arrested her father because he was now suspected. The girl went to school and was taken straight into a gang. Everything in the school was organized in races and the respective gangs. There was a new teacher at the school, Mrs. Gruwell. She was so happy to finally teach. But when she had her first lesson, it was completely different than she imagined. The students were disrespectful to her. Even among themselves, they were not respectful. Nobody listened. Mrs. Gruwell didn’t know how to handle it.  She was speechless. The next days were the same. There were countless brawls in the school.

# data[].attributes.body
Die Lehrerin hat alles versucht, um den Unterricht spannend zu gestalten. Die Schüler haben sich allerdings immernoch gemobbt und geschlagen. Immer weniger Schüler kamen in die Schule. Eines Abends gab es einen Überfall einer Tankstelle. Schüler von Frau Gruwells Kurs waren dabei. Eine der Schülerinnen war Augenzeugin. Einer ihrer Gangmitglieder wurde fast erschossen. Als Frau Gruwell davon mitbekam, war sie schockiert. Im Unterricht wurde ein Bild herumgegeben. Einer der Schüler malte einen Klassenkameraden. Frau Gruwell bekam das mit und klärte die Schüler auf. Zuerst wollte keiner das verstehen, was Frau Gruwell ihnen beibringen wollte. Doch nach einer gewissen Zeit, wo sie diskutierten, verstanden sie es. Die Gangs waren bisher immer gegeneinander, wodurch auch die Schlägereien und Streitigkeiten entstanden sind. Es war alles aufgrund der Hautfarbe. Dunkelhäutige haben weiße gehasst, sowie weiße dunkelhäutige gehasst haben.

The teacher has tried everything to make the lessons exciting.  The students still bullied and beat.  Less and less students came to school.  One evening there was a robbery of a gas station.  Students of Mrs. Gruwell's course were there.  One of the students was an eyewitness.  One of her gang members was almost shot dead.  When Mrs. Gruwell heard about it, she was shocked.  In class, a picture was passed around.  One of the students painted a classmate.  Mrs. Gruwell got this and clarified the students.  At first nobody wanted to understand what Mrs. Gruwell wanted to teach them.  But after a while, where they discussed, they understood it.  The gangs have always been against each other, which has also caused the brawls and disputes.  It was all because of the skin color.  Dark-skinned hated white, as well as hated white swarthy.

Frau Gruwell möchte mit den Schülern lesen. Sie sprach mit der Direktorin darüber. Ihr Plan war es, zum Beispiel etwas über Anne Frank zu lesen. Doch die Direktorin wollte das nicht. Sie sagte, dass die Schüler die Bücher bloß kaputt machen würden. Ihre Erfahrungen sind, dass sie die Bücher selten zurück bekamen und wenn eben kaputt oder bemalt. Somit ist sie dagegen, dass Frau Gruwell mit der Klasse ließt. Frau Gruwell probiert die Direktorin mit Hilfe von einem Kollegen überreden zu können. Doch auch er hält ihre Idee für unschlau. Alle Lehrer geben den Kindern die Schuld und finden es nicht gut, dass Frau Gruwell sie „erziehen“ möchte. Doch Frau Gruwell bleibt bei ihrer Meinung. Sie spielt im Unterricht mit den Jugendlichen ein Spiel. Dabei findet sie heraus, dass jeder der Schüler mindestens 3 Freunde bei Bandenkriegen verloren hat. Nach dem Spiel kann sich jeder ein Buch holen. Sie sollen ihr Leben in diesem Buch niederschreiben. Frau Gruwell wird diese Bücher nicht durchlesen, solange die Schüler dies nicht möchten. Somit bekommen sie auch keine Noten darauf, denn die können ja nichts dafür, was in ihrem Leben passiert. Sie sollen jeden Tag etwas Neues da rein schreiben.

Mrs. Gruwell wants to read with the students.  She talked to the director about it.  Her plan was, for example, to read something about Anne Frank.  But the director did not want that.  She said the students would just break the books.  Their experiences are that they seldom got the books back and when they were broken or painted.  Thus, she is against having Mrs. Gruwell reading with the class.  Mrs. Gruwell tries to persuade the director with the help of a colleague.  But he also considers her idea unbelievable.  All teachers blame the children and do not think it's good that Ms. Gruwell wants to "educate" them.  But Mrs. Gruwell stays with her opinion.  She plays a game with the teens in class.  She finds out that each of the students has lost at least 3 friends in gang wars.  After the game everyone can get a book.  They should write down their lives in this book.  Ms. Gruwell will not read these books unless the students want to.  Thus, they get no marks on it, because they can not help what happens in their lives.  They should write something new every day.

Es war Elternabend. Frau Gruwell bereitete extra ein Plakat vor, um die Eltern willkommen zu heißen. Doch es war nicht ein Elternteil da. Bei ihrem Kollegen nebenan waren jedoch einige Eltern da. Nun dachte sich Frau Gruwell, dass sie diese Zeit trotz Allem nutzen kann. Sie holte sich nun die Bücher aus dem Schrank. Erstaunlich war es, denn jeder hat sein Buch in den Schrank getan. Dies bedeutet, dass alle wollen, dass Frau Gruwell die Geschichte über ihr Leben liest. Somit ist sie den Schülern einen Schritt näher gekommen. Ein Schüler berichtet über seine Zeit in der Zelle. Eine andere Schülerin redet über die Zeit, wo ihre Mutter vor ihren Augen halb tot geschlagen wurde. Die anderen redeten ebenfalls über tote Freunde und Familienmitglieder. Jeder von ihnen hat in dem Alter von ca 15,16 Jahren schon Tote gesehen. Damit umzugehen ist nicht so leicht. Zudem haben die Schüler viele Narben und Verletzungen. Zur Verteidigung haben manche eine Pistole immer bei sich. Sie wollen doch bloß ihre Familien und Freunde beschützen. Frau Gruwell beschloss, Ausflüge mit den Schülern machen zu wollen. Dafür brauchte sie Unterstützung, die sie sogar bekam. Sie hat sich dafür eingesetzt. Momentan hat Frau Gruwell drei Jobs, was ihrem Mann nicht wirklich gefällt. Er sagt, dass sie sich auch mal etwas Auszeit nehmen soll.

It was parents' evening. Ms. Gruwell prepared a poster to welcome the parents. But nobody was there. However, there were a few parents with her colleague next door. Now, Ms. Gruwell thought she could use this time. She got the books out of the closet. It was amazing, because everyone has put his book in the closet. This means that everyone wants that Mrs. Gruwell reads the story about her life. Thus, she has come a step closer to the students. A student talks about his time in the cell. Another student talks about the time when her mother was beaten to death before her eyes. The others also talked about dead friends and family members.

Frau Gruwell machte mit ihren Schülern einen Ausflug. Sie dachte sich, es wäre schön, ein Nationalismus Museum zu besuchen. Somit holte sie die Schülerinnen und Schüler von zu Hause ab. Ihr Vater begleitete sie dabei und stieg zum Beispiel bei Andrew aus, da dort ja nur dunkelhäutige leben. Andrews Mutter ignoriert ihn ständig, weil er seinem Vater so ähnlich sieht. Sein Bruder kam anfangs lebenslänglich ins Gefängnis. Doch bei einer Unterhaltung vor Andrews Tür sagte Andrew, dass jemand eine Aussage machte, die seinem Bruder da raus helfen würde. Nun fahren alle gemeinsam ins Museum. In dem Museum werden Geschichten von damaligen Kindern mitten im Nationalsozialismus erzählt. Sie waren damals alle sehr jung und erlebten schon schlimme Dinge. Das machte die Schüler sehr nachdenklich. Nach dem Besuch im Museum organisierte Frau Gruwell ein gemeinsames Abendessen. Zudem kamen einige Zeugen des Nationalsozialismus ins Restaurant. Dies gefiel den Schülern sehr gut, weil die Zeugen ihre eigenen Geschichten erzählten. In ihrer Freizeit schrieben die Schüler fleißig an ihrem Tagebuch weiter. Sogar in der Schule verstand sich Frau Gruwell‘s Klasse mittlerweile sehr gut. In anderen Klassen war dies nicht der Fall.

Ms. Gruwell took a trip with her students. She thought it would be nice to visit a museum. So she picked up the students from home. Her father accompanied her and got out, for example, with Andrew, since there live only dark-skinned. Andrew's mother constantly ignores him because he looks like his father. His brother was imprisoned for life. But during a conversation in front of Andrew's door, Andrew said someone made a statement that would help his brother to come out. Now everyone goes to the museum together. The museum tells stories of children of that age in the midst of National Socialism. At that time they were all very young and already had bad things. That made the students very thoughtful. After visiting the museum, Ms. Gruwell organized a dinner together. In addition, some witnesses of National Socialism came to the restaurant. This pleased the students very well because the witnesses told their own stories. In their spare time, the students diligently wrote down their diary. Even at school, Ms. Gruwell's class got on very well. In other classes this was not the case.

Nun hieß es für die Schüler: „Lasst die negativen Dinge, die euch passiert sind hinter euch.“ Jeder der Schüler sollte einen Trinkspruch sagen, indem er oder sie sagt, was sie vergessen möchte. Dabei liest einer der Schüler sein Tagebuch vor. Alle sind füreinander da und unterstützen sich gegenseitig. Die Schüler von den anderen Klassen wollen am liebsten in Frau Gruwell‘s Klasse wechseln, doch das finden die Kollegen nicht gut. Als Frau Gruwell nach Hause kommt, ist ihr Mann sauer auf sie. Sie nimmt sich keine Zeit mehr für sich und ist nurnoch mit den Gedanken bei der Klasse. Die Schüler lesen das Buch „Anne Frank“ und die schreiben gute Noten. Eva betritt sauer den Klassenraum, wo nur Frau Gruwell sitzt und beschwert sich, das Anne in dem Buch stirbt. Die nächste Aufgabe für die Klasse ist, einen Brief an Miep Gies zu schreiben. Am liebsten würde die Klasse Miep Gies kennenlernen. Sie lebt sogar noch und sie könnte den Schülern einiges lehren. Da die Schüler sie unbedingt sehen wollen, machen sie Schülerspendenaktionen, beispielsweise eine Tanzparty. Die Briefe an Miep Gies hat Frau Gruwell abgeschickt. Tatsächlich hat es funktioniert. Miep Gies besucht die Klasse. Sie wurde von Andrew empfangen und erzählte einiges über das Verstecken von Anne Frank.

Now the students said, "Leave the negative things that happened to you behind you." Each student should say a toast by saying what they want to forget. One of the students reads his diary. Everyone is there for each other and support each other. The students from the other classes would like to change to Ms. Gruwell's class, but colleagues do not like that. When Ms. Gruwell comes home, her husband is mad. She takes no time for herself and is still thinking about the class. The students read the book "Anne Frank" and write good grades. Eve enters the classroom sourly, where only Mrs. Gruwell sits and complains that Anne dies in the book. The next task for the class is to write a letter to Miep Gies. The class would like to meet Miep Gies. She still lives and she could teach the students a lot about her life. Since the students want to see this person, they do student donations, for example a dance party. Ms. Gruwell Dent the Peters to Miep Gies. In fact, it worked. Miep Gies visits the class. She was received by Andrew and told a lot about hiding Anne Frank.

Eva wird agressiv und ist genervt von der Situation. Sie hat gelernt, dass es besser ist, bei der Wahrheit zu bleiben. Andrew bittet seine Mutter um Hilfe. Er hält es nicht mehr aus, von ihr ignoriert zu werden. Viel lieber möchte er ihre Unterstützung, um sich zu ändern. Nun muss Eva zum Gericht um dort auszusagen. Es fällt ihr schwer. Von ihrer Gang & ihrer Familie aus soll sie lügen, um jemanden zu verteidigen. Doch sie bleibt bei der Wahrheit. Sie möchte nicht mehr lügen, um ihre „Rasse“ besser darstellen zu lassen. Draußen, nach der Aussage wird Eva von Gangmitgliedern verfolgt. Sie versucht zu fliehen, doch sie schafft es nicht. Sie halten ihr sogar die Pistole an den Kopf. Dabei sagen sie „Für uns bist du gestorben!“ Außerdem redet ihr Vater nicht mehr mit ihr. Weil sie sich zu Hause nicht mehr blicken lassen kann, taucht sie ab. Sie wohnt bei ihrer Tante, etwas weiter weg. Dies erzählt sie Frau Gruwell, die immer für sie da ist und ihr weiterhilft. Mittlerweile verstehen sich die Gangs in Frau Gruwell‘s Klasse auch untereinander. Zudem melden sich die Schüler und versuchen, ihre Bildung zu verbessern. Als Frau Gruwell nach Hause kommt, erwartet ihr Mann sie bereits. Er möchte ausziehen. Frau Gruwell versucht ihn aufzuhalten. Doch er bleibt der Meinung, dass die ihre Klasse vorzieht und er eher unwichtiger für sie ist. Dabei wollte sie den Schülern doch nur einen Sinn im Leben geben.

Eva becomes aggressive and is annoyed by the situation. She has learned that it is better to stick to the truth. Andrew asks his mother for help. He can‘t no more stand being ignored by her. He would much rather have her support to change. Now Eva has to go to court to testify. It's hard for her. From her gang & her family, she is supposed to lie to defend someone. But she stays with the truth. She no longer wants to lie in order to better represent her "race". Outside, according to the statement, Eva is persecuted by gang members. She tries to escape, but she does not succeed. They even hold the gun to her head. They say, "For us you died!" Besides, her dad does not talk to her anymore. Because she can no longer look at home, she dives. She lives with her aunt, a little further away. She tells Ms. Gruwell, who is always there for her and helps her. Meanwhile, the gangs understand each other in Mrs. Gruwell's class. In addition, the students report and try to improve their education. When Ms. Gruwell comes home, her husband already expects her. He wants to move out. Mrs. Gruwell tries to stop him. But he thinks that she prefers her class and that he is less important to her. She wanted to give the students but only a meaning in life.

Es wurde jetzt ein Urteil gegen Andrew‘s Bruder gegeben. Deswegen kommt Andrew auch nicht zur Schule. Ein großes Problem steuert auf Frau Gruwell und ihre Schüler zu. Das Schuljahr neigt sich dem Ende zu. Dies bedeutet, dass Frau Gruwell die Klasse nächstes Schuljahr nicht mehr unterrichten wird. Jedoch kämpft die ganze Klasse dafür, dass es nicht so ist. Sie wollen nicht die Lehrerin verlieren, durch die sie die Hoffnung auf ein besseres Leben bekommen haben. Nebenbei ist Frau Gruwell in ihrem Scheidungsprozess. Sie räumt Scots Sachen in Umzugskartons, wobei ihr Vater sie unterstützt. Er sagt dabei zu ihr, dass er sehr stolz auf sie ist, da sie das Alles so gemeistert hat. Das Gespräch, indem es darum geht, ob Frau Gruwell weiterhin ihre Klasse unterrichten kann beginnt. Es sind weitere Lehrer dabei. Diese sind strickt dagegen, da sie die 11 Stufe unterrichten und weil Frau Gruwell noch nicht so lange dort arbeitet wie sie. Zuerst konnte Frau Gruwell nicht wirklich überzeugen, da zu viele Dinge dagegen stehen. Die Klasse jedoch weigert sich, von einem anderen Lehrer unterrichtet zu werden. Sie fühlen sich nur in dem Klassenzimmer wohl. Dort können sie bleiben, wie lange sie wollen. Sie haben dort Unterstützung und Geborgenheit. Zudem ist ihre Klasse wie eine Familie. Der Zusammenhalt wurde aufgebaut und er soll schließlich so bleiben. Vorerst das letzte Projekt von Frau Gruwell ist, dass die Schüler ihr Tagebuch in eigene Bücher verfassen sollen, wie Anne Frank. Ein weiteres Gespräch stand an. In diesem stellte sich heraus, dass die nun doch weiter unterrichten darf. Der Klasse sagt sie zuerst, dass es nicht der Fall wäre. Umso mehr freuen sie sich dann, dass es doch so ist.

A judgment has now been given against Andrew's brother. That's why Andrew doesn’t come to school. A big problem is heading towards Mrs. Gruwell and her students. The school year is coming to an end. This means that Ms. Gruwell will not teach the class next term. However, the whole class is fighting for it not being so. They don‘t want to lose Ms.Gruwell, which gives them hope for a better life. Incidentally, Ms. Gruwell is in her divorce process. She puts Scot's things in moving boxes, with her father assisting her. He says to her that he is very proud of her because she mastered it all. The conversation about whether Ms. Gruwell can continue to teach her class begins. There are more teachers. These are strict against teaching the 11th grade and because Mrs. Gruwell has not worked there as long as them have. At first, Ms. Gruwell could not really convince, because there are too many things against it. However, the class refuses to be taught by another teacher. They only feel comfortable in the classroom. There they can stay as long as they want. They have support and security there. Besides, her class is like a family. The cohesion was built and he should stay that way. For the time being, the last project of Mrs. Gruwell is that the students should write their diary in their own books, like Anne Frank. Another conversation was pending. In this it turned out that they are allowed to continue teaching the class next year. She first tells the class that it isn‘t. The more they are happy then that it is so.
