I can identify features of a diary.
Grammar starter:Simple Past Tense and Simple Present Tense
Today we are going to be looking at features of a diary entry. Over the next few days you will start to write a
diary entry of your days during lockdown.
Writing a Diary Entry
When you write a diary entry, you are writing about a day in the life of a real
person or character. The diary entry needs to sound as if the person or character has written it, so it needs to be written from their point of
view. It also needs to be exciting
and interesting to read. To get this right,
just follow a few easy steps...
Diary Writing Must...
or it can be included in the first few sentences of a diary entry like this...
‘It is past midnight but I am still wide awake because my day has been so exciting.’
This is important because it tells the reader exactly when the diary is being written.
The date or time can be written at the top of the page like this...
include the date and/or time
Diary Writing Must...
Look at the sentence below. How would you change it into the past tense?
I can not sleep very well as I am so excited about my birthday party! I wake up at 5am and get dressed…
I could not sleep very well as I was so excited about my birthday party! I woke up at 5am and got dressed…
When we write a diary, we write in the past tense. This is because we are writing about something that has already happened.
be written in the past tense
Diary Writing Must...
These words are special because they tell us the diary is beingwritten by someone and they are talking about themselves.
We call this kind of writing ‘first person’. Look at these two examples. Which one uses the correct words to be written in ‘first person’?
I played with the new football I got for my birthday.When my brother came home, we went inside our house. First person!
use the words ‘I’, ‘my’, ‘we’ and ‘our’
First person!
She played with the new football she got for her birthday.When her brother got home, they went inside their house. Not first person!Not first person!
Put the sentences in the correct order.
Check your answers.
Diary Writing Must...
A diary is usually a secret place to write how you feel about what has happened to you in the day.
describe feelings
In a diary, you might include feelings, hopes or fears that you wouldn’t want anyone to know about.
Look at the examples below.Where have these diary writers described their feelings?
I changed the poorly soldiers’ bandages and cleaned their wounds. Some of the injuries made me feel sick to look at but I didn’t let my disgust
show.I couldn’t believe we’d won The World Cup! I was flooded with disbelief
and my whole body tingled with excitement and pride.
Diary Writing Must...
A diary is usually describing lots of events.To make sense of when these events happened it is helpful to include time
linking words, such as ‘next’, ‘first’ and ‘then’.
use time linking words, e.g. ‘next’, ‘first’ and ‘then’
If we just use one word, such as ‘and’ to link the eventsin our diary it can get very boring!
Look at the example below. Can you think of different time words the writer could use at the start of each sentence to make their diary entry more interesting?
(First,) I scrubbed the deck. ( ext,) I climbed the rigging to keep a lookout. (Then,) (then,) We stood to attention for the captain to talk to us.
(After that,) The captain made someone walk the plank!
(First,) (Next,)
(After that,)(Then,)
Diary Writing Must...
As well as explaining when events take place,it is also helpful to explain where they took place.
talk about where events happened.
We might want to include the country, city, building, roomor even planet where events take place!
Look at the example below. How could you include where theseevents took place to help the reader understand?
I arrived in this tiny English village, early this morning. The journey from London was very long and tiring. We waited around for ages in a church hall until different families came to choose us. I was chosen by a lady called Mrs Moggs. Now, I am writing this in a strange bed,
in my new room at her thatched cottage, missing my home in the East End.
