11+ Diary Entry Pack

Diary questions look easy and lose marks quietly. This pack fixes voice, tense and reflection. Every pack is self-contained: task sheets, planning frameworks, exemplar responses and an optional marking add-on so a tutor reads the final piece and returns a banded report.

Course outline

  1. Session 01

    What examiners want from diary entries

    Diary tasks are marked on voice, tense and reflection.

  2. Session 02

    Model responses

    Two exemplar diary entries pieces, one a solid pass and one top band, annotated so the difference is visible.

  3. Session 03

    Guided practice tasks

    Four graded diary entries tasks with planning frameworks pupils can reuse in the exam room.

  4. Session 04

    Timed task and marking

    A final task written to exam timing, returned with line-by-line marking and a banded score.

By the end

  • Confidence with diary entries under exam timing
  • A reusable planning framework for this question type
