Dangerous Minds

I really enjoyed this clip! It reminded me of "The Freedom Writers" and that is one of my favorite books and movie; I actually met the author of the book, with one of my teachers in high school. I really need to see the rest of the movie, because it left me on a complete cliff hanger!
From what I watched, I feel like the teacher is going to use poetry so she can relate to the students. For example, the first poem was about a drug dealer, and when she asked one of the boys in the class to talk about it, he told her it was too personal. I feel like she might be able to have the kids open up through poetry, and reading other poets poems.
