Session 3: Dear diary
LI: To reflect upon experiences, events or
celebrations.
SC: I can talk personally about things I have
done to find similarities with other people in my
class
Students will write a diary entry discussing how they have spent their holidays using the template
provided. Next students will exchange their written piece with another person at their table. They
will select a coloured pencil, texta or crayon to highlight similar experiences, events or
celebrations they have undertaken. Continue to pass the work around the table until the person
who wrote the entry receives their own work back. Ask for volunteers to share their findings.
Focus question:
Who had the most similar holiday/ experiences as you?
Were you surprised by the findings?
Who did you think you would most alike? Why did you think this?
Why do feelings affect the
way I feel?
