Freedom Writers VIII

Time to do a reading comprehension about Anne Frank, the girl whose diary the students of room 203 read and were touched by.

First, you are going to prepare by going through the words that will be in the text. You can find them explained in English here: https://quizlet.com/228305332/anne-frank-history-in-brief-english-flash-cards/
and translated to Swedish here: https://quizlet.com/228292275/anne-frank-history-in-brief-swedish-flash-cards/ 

Then read the text about Anne's life here: http://www.annefrank.org/en/Anne-Frank/Anne-Franks-history-in-brief/

And answer questions in Google forms. As always, try to elaborate your answers as much as you can!

Freedom Writers VII

Go to this page: http://www.chasingthefrog.com/reelfaces/freedomwriters.php and read about the real Freedom Writers.


Answer these questions in a Google document and share with me:

• Tell me a few things that you saw in the movie that were true! (had happened in real life)  
• Tell me a few things that you saw in the movie that were not true! (had not happened in real life) 
• Tell me something that surprised you in the text that you just read! 
• Is there something that you would like to know that has not been answered in the text?

Freedom Writers VI

Now that we are done watching the movie Freedom Writers and we have answered questions about it and discussed it, we are going to... write about it.

The assignment:

You are going to choose one of the characters from the movie and write a letter to him or her.

Here (click on the link to get to a document) is a template of a letter with some ideas for words and expressions that you can use to begin and end your letter.

There are also questions that can help you think of things to include in your letter. Of course you are also welcome to come up with your own ideas.

You can save a copy of this letter and replace my suggestions with your own text.

I would like your letter to be around 500 words long, which is about a page. The font size should be 12 points and your letter should be divided into paragraphs. I will comment on your work along the way to help you improve your text.

Have you already forgotten about the characters in the movie? Not to worry! Have a look at this page: http://blogs.oregonstate.edu/wagarethnicstudies/character-profiles/

The best of luck!
