Dear diary...…..
A diary entry is the best way to really put yourself in a characters shoes. What would they think about the day they have just had? Remember to write the diary using 'I' not the characters name or 'she/he.'
After reading the book/watching the film, write a diary entry for Charlie (or one of the other characters: Augustus Gloop, Veruca Salt, Mike Teavee or Violet Beauregarde) about their visit to the Chocolate factory.
Remember to:
- start your entry 'Dear diary,'
- write in paragraphs (with 6-8 sentences per paragraph)
- write as the character (using I not their name or he/she)
- write in the past tense (watched, ate, played, visited)
- describe not only what you saw but also what you felt
- use lots of adjectives (describing words) and similes (as ___ as a ____) (____like ____)
- use neat joined up handwriting
- use a variety of punctuation
- use capital letters at the start of sentences and for proper nouns
- proof read and improve your work once finished
Challenge
Keep your own diary and write in it at the end of the day about what has happened that day.
Unfortunately not the ones with chocolate chips.
