Ms. Conklin's Freedom Writers

Funded Dec 14, 2018

Thank you so much for funding my project of Diary of Anne Frank and journals. By doing this for my students I was able to teach them about WWII and the power of the written word.

Many of my students had their own difficulties to deal with, but reading about Anne Frank allowed them time and space to step outside of their own circumstances and practice empathy for another's trials and tribulations.

After reading chapters of the book, students were able to create better journal entries using the book as a model. With this project you helped my students integrate three subjects: Social Studies, Reading and Writing. Thank you so much for helping my class!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Conklin
