Continuity mistake: In the scene where they are discussing 'The Diary of Anne Frank', the writing on the chalk board changes from simply "Anne Frank" to a large amount of writing quite a few times.

Question: Did Erin Gruwell really have her students write diaries as shown in the movie?
Answer: It is my understanding that she "encouraged" her students to keep diaries. Some students did and some of the diary entries were later included in a controversial book (which some people found offensive because of the language used).
