You have been asked to participate in a book talk/discussion night at Renaissance House/Stepping Stones that is going to focus on the concept of change and The Freedom Writers Diary. Students from several schools in the area have been asked to present on various topics related to the issues the young people at RH/SS are dealing with and attempting to overcome. Your school's topic is the factors that contribute to and/or detract from one's ability to change.

Group #1: belief and value systems. Group #2: culture and geographic location Group #3: power Group #4: teen issues Group #5: choices/decision-making After reading The Freedom Writers Diary and researching your group's concept as it relates to change, you will prepare a 10-minute presentation for the discussion night.
