Billionaire Boy - Lesson 9 - Dear Diary PowerPoint

The 'Billionaire Boy - Lesson 9 - Dear Diary' PowerPoint is a resource designed to guide students through an English lesson focused on diary entry writing, based on the book 'Billionaire Boy'. The objectives of the lesson are to fill in a table of events and to read and discuss Chapters 16 and 17 of the book. Students are then tasked with writing diary entries from the perspectives of the two main characters, Joe and Bob. This exercise aims to deepen their understanding of the characters' emotions and thoughts, as well as to practice writing from a first-person viewpoint using personal pronouns and vivid, imaginative descriptions.

The lesson encourages students to think critically about the key events of the chapters and how each character would perceive and react to these events in their diary entries. They are reminded to include the main events, the characters' relationships with each other and their schoolmates, and to express the characters' thoughts and feelings. The session culminates with a plenary where volunteers can read their diary entries to the class for constructive feedback. This interactive approach not only improves writing skills but also enhances comprehension and analytical abilities as students explore character development within the narrative.
