TASK 3 – Scholastic’s Learn at Home Article

1. Read this article about keeping a diary/journal:            https://choices.scholastic.com/issues/2019-20/040120/dear-diary.html
2. Once you have read the article, create some of your own literal and inferential questions based on the article.  We have been working on these questions in class, remember literal questions are questions that come directly from the text and inferential questions involve the reader having to search for clues to answer the question.
3. Ask someone to home to read the article and then answer your questions, or ask a classmate to answer them by commenting on this post.
4. Select one of the writing prompts from the article and turn it into a journal entry. A drawing, a poem, a collage—there is no wrong way to journal, so be as creative as you want.

ADDITIONAL TASK – Start your own diary/journal of this time we are having to spend at home due to the virus, add a bit each day and remember it can be a drawing, a poem, anything you want!  You could use the blank jotters in your Home Learning pack if you wish 🙂
