Freedom writers Diary

During junior year met with Miep Gies and Zlata.
Zlata was only 15 when she met with the Ms. G and her students.
The class decided to name themselves the Freedom Writers.
They named themselves after a group of Civil Rights activists in the 1960s who decided to challenge segregation in the south.
The Freedom Riders integrated their bus and traveled from Washington, D.C., through down south. Their goal was to change segregated interstate travel.
The Freedom Writers fought to get Ms. G back for their senior year.

How did Ms. G meet Miep Gies?
How did she meet Zlata Filipovic when she visited Europe?
How did the freedom writers talk the school board into letting Ms. G be their teacher for their final year?
What made Ms. G decide to turn all of the dairies into one book?

Cathartic- evacuating the bowels
diarist- a person who keeps a diary

1. During their junior year many of the Freedom writers who used to be F and D students had now raised their grades to A’s and B’s.
