English 8A - Unit 1 Activity

Journal and Narrative Writing

Assignment Instructions:
Task One

Situation:

A diary is a record of personal thoughts, feelings, and everyday experiences.


Diaries are usually written in the first-person point of view, using the pronouns I,
me, our, and so on to express personal feelings and experiences. The main
purpose of a diary is to give you the freedom to describe your thoughts and to
keep track of your daily events and activities.

Directions:

Part A: Diary Project

In this task, you will write three diary entries. As you write, please keep in mind
the elements of diary writing.

First, choose any three topics from the six listed below:

 Think about your biggest pet peeve and write an entry explaining what that
pet peeve is and why it bothers you.
 Who do you believe is the most fascinating famous person? The individual
you choose can be living or dead. Write an entry explaining who this person
is and why you think they are fascinating.
 The author Mark Twain once said, "Humor is tragedy plus time." Keeping in
mind what you know about the words humor and tragedy, write an entry
explaining what this quote may mean. In your entry, use an example from
your life to support your explanation.
 Has there ever been a time in your life when you felt invisible? Think of this
time and write an entry explaining what happened to make you feel this
way and how you dealt with the feeling.
 Many people believe that it is important to find ways to pay it forward in
their daily lives. Think about what “pay it forward” means. Write an entry
explaining what you believe this expression means and provide an example
of this practice that you have witnessed.
 Think about a time in your life when you had to deal with adversity. Write
an entry explaining the situation. In the entry, explain how the situation
made you feel and how you overcame those feelings.

Complete your diary entries and submit them in this document for your teacher’s
assessment.
