Diary Entries
Following on from yesterday, today you are going to be writing a diary entry as if you were the girl in the story you watched yesterday - The girl and robot. Watch the video again to remind yourself of what happened to her.
Diary checklist
A diary entry is a form of recount in which the writer explains what has happened to them.
Here's a checklist of the key features to use when you write a diary entry.
-
Start with 'Dear Diary’.
-
Describe the places where the events happened.
-
Write in the past tense.
-
Use pronouns like I, my and me to show that the events happened to you.
- Talk about how you were feeling or what you were thinking when each event happened.
Read the model as an example of a diary and notice how it is written in the 1st person using 'I' instead of she.
Download the sentence opener sheet and have a go at writing a diary entry as if you were the girl.
