    OTFH 1 NSTP

    Freedom
    Writers
    1. What about the movie did you find the most interesting and why?
    – The scene that piqued my attention the most was when the
    teacher confiscated an obnoxious racist caricature made by one
    by the students of an African American in the class. She contrasts
    it to the kind of sketches of Jews used by the Nazis to incite
    resentment in Germany. Still, to her surprise, Erin learns that her
    students are unaware of the Holocaust and the genocide of Jews.
    She compares the Nazis to a street gang that is only interested in
    defending its own. The racial drawing that sparked a class debate
    led to the students opening up about the hatred that drives their
    everyday lives.

    2. In what ways did the movie is related to any discussion/topic we


    had in NSTP01?

    – In line with the previous discussions in this subject, I can relate


    this movie to the social analysis topic. The teacher encountered a
    range of problems while standing in front of the class to educate
    her students. They face a variety of challenging issues, including
    domestic issues, racial discrimination, racism, and societal
    problems. The teacher has spent weeks working to reach out to
    her inner-city students, young people who have suffered a great
    deal of pain, poverty, and desperation as a result of gang warfare.

    3. What about the movie that had a great impact/ or build a great
    impression on you? why?
    – The teacher developed the game Line Game. She decided to use this
    game to analyze her students' difficulties and train them to better
    understand one another. By playing with this game, she noticed that
    her students became more aware of their friends' struggles and started
    to sympathize with them. It also encouraged them to value one
    another. Gruwell hoped that the game would get them all together as
    one team. Erin also asked her students to write down their
    experiences, emotions, and ideas in a journal in order to gather more
    knowledge about them. She provided them with a journal book for this
    purpose. Aside from that, the practice may have increased her
    students' creativity in literary works and encouraged them to do more
    creative writing. These scenes impacted me the most because the
    teacher really did a lot of efforts to win her students’ hearts.

    4. Like the freedom writers, as a Benildean Lasallian NSTP students how


    can you embody the values of being a hero in your own small way –
    “turning on the small light in your own simple ways” (Just like how
    Benilde was known doing ordinary things extraordinarily well)? Or
    simply What does it entail to be a Benildean-Lasallian today?

    – Most people despise being referred to as a "hero." The title, it seems,


    should be reserved for beings with superpowers rather than ordinary
    people like us. Regardless, as a Benildean student, how can I consider
    myself as a hero? First, by recognizing where light is needed. Once
    you’ve found it, make the most out of my gifts. There are a lot of
    people who desire to have what I have so the least I could do is to
    share what I have and know in the most possible way. Most
    importantly, I should take the courage and trust God. I may face
    danger or difficulty; I may not see any obvious good come from your
    sacrifices; I may feel that I have failed after all. Yet it is not success
    that makes a hero, but valor. And that’s what it takes for me to be a
    bona-fide Benildean-Lasallian.
