Beginning:
In the outcome of the film the teacher Erin
Grugell (actress Hilary Swhak) manages to
generate an excellent work environment, where
racism, discrimination, mistrust are finally
eradicated, crime by students was reduced,
among other aspects , and some values such as
union, trust, coexistence, respect, honesty,
solidarity, empathy, etc. were fostered.

Knot:
“The curricular adaptations… when the regular
school does not have the means to meet the
educational needs of some students or students,
or these exceed the direct possibilities of
pedagogical work of the teacher, it is necessary

to define the supports that these students require
and provide them.1
Ending:
It is worth mentioning that many teachers face
this type of situation, where they do not have the
support of the directors and other teachers, they
do not have the adequate and sufficient material
to work in the classroom, the conditions of the
classrooms are very insufficient and in
Sometimes students do not find meaning in
education, as in the case of this film, however, as
good teachers, a pleasant work environment must
be created, new teaching and innovative
strategies must be implemented, motivating the
student to enter learning processes

S1 that the fellowship must be taken into account
to live well in society.
S2 I learned the movie that I must overcome My
fears and do my best
S3 This movie shocked to me, it shows different
kind of challenges that teenagers face in the
contemporary society. This movie made me
more comprehensible about social problems.
S4 Through this movie, I learned that teachers
don't have to be judged on their poor academic
experience, that many teachers have different
ways of teaching and solving problems in the
classroom, such as Mrs. Erín, who taught us
through creative strategies. and dynamics which
managed to promote learning in their students
and improved behavior and motivated them to
succeed.
S5
S1 sadness and joy at the same time because the
teacher knew how to reach her students through
the book of ana frank which had a great
influence on wars and the rest.
S2 It made me think a lot about the methodology
used to teach in our country, I think that self-

realization should be encouraged more so that we
ourselves have the need to learn
S3 I felt really touched, a mix of feelings,
sometimes happy and others sad by those
problems and make réflex upon how as
profesional I will face and work with a purpose
in the society.
S4 This film made me feel vulnerable with the
rational cases of the film because at one point in
the film I felt anger when I saw how people
discriminated against people of color or
nationality, in which I could think that there are
many people who live discrimination daily and
are judged by a simple color or nationality
S5
S1 It is related to social work. since to a greater
extent we will face some young people who are
in danger in the educational environment of their
life and their learning because they get carried
away with bullying.
S2 In psychology you can see how the social
dimension begins to be considered, which includes
group learning and how the social factor influences
the performance of each student.
S3 As a psycologist in formation I realize about
social aspects that must be treated from the social
base to the highest groups in order to improve
the students’ opportunities, also how the teachers
and social guides allows to open and créate new
perspectives into the students.
S4 The film is related to the psychology
program, in which it can be seen how through the
motivated students are more receptive to acquire
new knowledge and skills. since the motivation
depends on the degree of interest that the
teachings produce in the classroom, the level of
involvement of the student with the tasks that
must be done.
S5
The end could be that those guilty of provoking
 violence in the school were taken to special help
and propose a series of campaigns introduced to
the classroom and that the literature teacher in
charge of that class took advantage of those
diaries written by the class students through from
a publication to a virtual and international school
newspaper.

It would have been interesting if the students, in

addition to writing the book, gave lectures not only to
people with their problems but also to people who at
could be
some time rejected them and showed how much a
teacher can contribute not only in education but in
personal life

Another end for the film would have been that

the educational institution had implemented
significant strategies for students of different
grades with the help of teacher Erín.
In which significant help would have been
implemented for other young people in conflict.
