Today you all turned in your writing portfolios, which I am so excited to read!!! You all worked very hard and I'm proud of you! Some of you chose to share some of your writing with the class today, which was great, and then we finished out the week by starting the film Freedom Writers. This a great movie (the book is still way better...) that just proves just how important the power of the written word can be. Writing is powerful and can not only help you deal with issues in your life or provide a creative outlet, but the practice of writing also has the power to affect change in the world. The true story described in the film is a testament to that. Have a great weekend and be ready to start a new unit next week. REMEMBER, BRING IN A COPY OF YOUR ROUGH DRAFT OPENING STATEMENTS "WE THE PEOPLE" - WE WILL BE WORKING ON THEM IN CLASS ON MONDAY!!!
