Diary of an Imaginary Person

Instructions:

• You will create five diary entries of an imaginary person from this era. They should be typed.

• Each diary entry should focus on one example of how life changed in this era. Be sure to express the cause and effect of this change within your entry.

• All diary entries should include a date that accurately relates to the content. For example, if you create an entry about the armistice that ended World War I, the date must be November 11, 1918, or later. Other dates may not be specific, such as an entry that discusses a leisure activity of the era.

• Include information in the diary entries that gives details about the imaginary person writing the diary so the reader can understand their perspective. For example, a person who is a younger may have a different view of the world than an older person.
