Billionaire Boy - Lesson 9 - Bobs Diary Worksheet

In the imaginative exercise from the lesson plan for 'Billionaire Boy', students are tasked with delving into the perspectives of the main characters, Joe and Bob. They are encouraged to reflect on the narrative up to the end of Chapter 17 and compose two distinct diary entries as if they were each of the boys. The activity aims to explore the characters' inner thoughts and feelings about the events that have unfolded. Students must consider how Joe, with his unique experiences as the son of a billionaire, and Bob, who comes from a different background, would each interpret and describe the same events in their personal diaries.

The exercise is designed to foster empathy and understanding of character development and viewpoint. As the students write Joe's diary entry, they should capture his voice and convey his reactions to the wealth-driven world he inhabits. Conversely, Bob's diary entry should offer a contrasting perspective, rooted in his own life experiences and how he perceives the events that involve Joe. The task not only enhances comprehension of the text but also develops creative writing skills by asking students to articulate the same storyline from two differing viewpoints, thereby deepening their engagement with the characters and the plot of 'Billionaire Boy'.
