Think… • What if you were Rowley? How would you feel if you were cheated like him? • Betrayed? • Trusted the wrong friend? • Hate Greg? • Lost faith in friendship?
Diary • What are the features of a diary entry? • Who is it meant to be written for? • Formal or informal? • What do you write about in a diary entry? • Sample of diary: • I think I might just know what this is all about. I decided to have some fun with the kids. I knew if I confessed, I'd lose my hot chocolate privileges.

Share your diary • Again, read aloud your emotions.
