Peter's Diary

Peter's Diary

By Amelia and Hannah

Peter is a boy from a book called The Treasure Box written by Margaret Wild and illustrated by Freya Blackwood. We wanted to imagine just how scared and terrified he felt so we did that by writing down what we imagined him to be feeling, in a diary. The diary starts from when Peter goes to school and is still living in his house to when he is trudging alone along the side of the road thinking about what might happen in his unknown future.

Our Journey:

To write these diary entries we needed to know about the book ‘The Treasure Box’ to be able to have our diary in sequence of what happened in the book and of what the characters did. First we discussed the book in a lot of detail and tried to dig deeper in what the meaning of the book was. We read the book numerous times in order to pick up small details that might have helped us write the diary. We discussed what words would fit where and what words didn’t fit. If we didn’t understand what a word meant we would look it up on the internet and if we had used a word too many times we would look it up in a thesaurus.
