Diary Entry

For literacy today with our Boy in The striped Pyjamas topic, we had to write a diary entry from Bruno's point of view. I decided to make mine look like an old diary entry.

Facebook Profile

In our class we have been making fake Facebook profiles. We had to choose someone from our novel (The Boy in The Striped Pyjamas) and make their Facebook profile. I choose Gretel ,Bruno's Annoying older sister who is obsessed with dolls and Lieutenant Kotler. I found it really challenging because of all the links and detail we had to use in it. Here is mine.
