In our series "Your Students Have Talent", check out these amazing diary entries created as an intermediate task by pupils using our Reading Guide Gangsta Granny.
The 4e students were studying David Walliams' humorous novel. After reading the extracts of the first part, where they learned some details about the main protagonist Ben's life, his parents and his grandmother, the pupils were asked to write an entry for Ben's diary, in which he describes his likes and dislikes.
We really enjoyed reading these inventive and beautifully illustrated texts!
Congratulations to Océane and Nikita from Collège Mandel in Issy-les-Moulineaux for their humorous diary entries!
