Creative writing.

Aim

To encourage the students to write a diary entry based on Robin Hood’s diary.

Instructions

Allow students to read the diary entry underlining any words they don’t understand. Next, discuss any problem 

words with all of the class. Ask students what might be happening now to Robin Hood and what has changed 

since the diary entry. Then ask students to write the diary entry. With preparation in class this is a good 

homework writing activity.

Alternative activity

Alternatively, students could choose to write a diary entry for one of the other characters in the play – Lady 

Marion, the Sheriff, the Witch even Muffy!  Encourage them to be as imaginative as possible.
