Teach with Your Heart by Erin Gruwell

Teach With Your Heart by Erin Gruwell is good but it's not really anything you haven't already heard if you've read The Freedom Writers or seen the movie. When you read The Freedom Writers, you have to sort through the students entries to get a picture of what was going on in the time Erin spent at the school and this book tells you directly. I would recommend you read this book first and then read The Freedom Writers Diary.
