English 113
Unit Test – Wednesday, May 27th

We have been writing journals all year where you have expressed many points of view and shared things about yourself and your ambitions. For the given journals, read each journal then answer the question in full using appropriate voice, ideas, content, sentence fluency and organization. Each question is valued at 10 marks (2 introduction, 2 fluency, spelling and grammar, 2 creativity and organization, 2 body, 2 conclusion).

1. Read Diary 129, then answer the following question.
In this entry, the author reflects on a powerful statement: “Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire.” Think of the experiences of the Freedom Writers and the people they have met. Explain whether or not one person can make a difference to the world.

2. Read Diary 133, then answer the following question.
This writer shares her good news with several people and is let down by each of their reactions. Finally, she shares her news with Ms. Gruwell and the Freedom Writers and they cheer. Consider the people in your life. To whom would you turn if you had news you were excited about? What would be their reaction?


3. The final question is a reflection of you. Put yourself in the shoes of a Freedom Writer. Compare yourself to two experiences we have read about in the movie/novel the Freedom Writers. How do you relate to this person? How do you relate to the experience? How did you feel? Did something about you change? How can these experiences help you in the future?
