What is a diary entry?
• A Diary is a journal organized by date where you express your thoughts,
feelings, opinions, and plans.
Format and Features
• Salutation “Dear Diary”.
• Alphabetical date (day, month, year)
• Informal/casual language
• Write in the first person “I” and “Me”.
• Contents of the diary entry:
• Topic sentence.
• Detail that supports the topic
• Emotions
• Future hopes and expectations
• Signature
Points to Remember:
• Creativity, imagination and expression in diary writing are tested.
• You should write as if you have really been a part of the situation.
• It highlights events, so do not go into every detail from breakfast to
dinner.
• One does not write about things experienced daily. Only matters of some
significance are recorded.
• It is a secret record of one’s life, so one can be very honest about one’s
feelings and emotions.
Your Work:
• The president announced today (a Sunday evening) that all schools will
open on the 18th of May 2020. Write TWO diary entries.
• The first entry must indicate how you felt the day before the school
opened and the second entry must express how you felt after your first
day back at school.
• Your word count is 140-160 words. (The word count is for both entries)
