Quatrième de couverture:
"Gruwell is simply magical when it comes to inspiring people to action." --Los Angeles Times
Author of the #1 New York Times Bestseller The Freedom Writers Diary
A GLAMOUR MAGAZINE HERO OF THE MONTH
"Ms. G., as the kids called her, embraced a concept that has been lost in modern life: writing can make pain tolerable, confusion clearer, and the self stronger." --Anna Quindlen, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and author of the #1 New York Yimes bestseller Rise and Shine
"Erin is a true inspiration and an example of the extraordinary difference one person can make in the world. She continues to transform the lives of students across the country through her work and The Freedom Writers Foundation." --Hilary Swank, two-time Academy Award winner
In this passionate, poignant, and deeply personal memoir and call to arms, Erin Gruwell, the dynamic young teacher who nurtured a remarkable group of high school students from Long Beach, California, who called themselves the Freedom Writers, picks up where The Freedom Writers Diary--and the hit movie The Freedom Writers--left off and brings the reader up to date on where the Freedom Writers are today. Including their unforgettable trip to Auschwitz, where they met with Holocaust survivors; their tour of the attic of their beloved Anne Frank; and their visit to Bosnia with their friend Zlata Filipovic, Teach With Your Heart chronicles what happened with the Freedom Writers as they made their way through college and beyond. Along the way, Gruwell includes lessons for parents and teachers about what she learned from her remarkable band of students as she traveled through the emotional peaks and valleys on the front lines of our nation's educational system. A mesmerizing story of one young woman's personal odyssey and of her remarkable ability to encourage others to follow in her footsteps, Teach With Your Heart is marked by the enviable radiance and irrepressible force of nature that are Erin Gruwell and her unbelievable determination to ensure that education in the United States truly meets the needs of every student.
ERIN GRUWELL and the Freedom Writers have received many awards, including the prestiguous Spirit of Anne Frank Award, and have appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Primetime, Good Morning America, and The View, to name a few. Erin Gruwell is also a charismatic motivational speaker who spreads her dynamic message to students, teachers, and businesspeople around the world. She leads the nonprofit Freedom Writers Foundation and lives in Southern California.
Mon avis: Ce livre est un magnifique complément au Freedom Writers Diary. J'avais peur que ce soit trop "académique", mais non. J'avais peur que ça fasse un peu trop répétition après le premier livre, mais non. Il y a juste, vers la fin, la partie un peu politique qui m'a dérangée. En dehors de ça, c'est vraiment un beau livre rempli d'émotions. Et le final est juste sublime.
Malheureusement pour certains d'entre vous, comme le premier, il me semble bien qu'il ne se trouve qu'en anglais.
