After watching this short trailer i felt that writing in journals was an superior idea for those students. The reason why I agree with this statement is because I feel that sometimes when you show more attention to an adolescent or show them that you care they will give more effort and try to work and it shows that you care and it helps the students express how they feel by writing about there struggles, family issues, etc . I feel that if we did this now in present day it’s a good idea but I don’t know if our generation has the same mentality as the time setting in the movie some students wouldn’t show that much effort while some would probably really like the idea .
