Diary Entry 

How do you think landing on the moon felt for Neil? Why was this a big achievement? Can you pretend that you are Neil Armstrong, you’ve just returned home and you’re writing a diary entry about your experience? 

• Start with ‘Dear Diary’. 
• Describe what happened (being the first man to land on the moon) and what the place was like (moon). 
• Write in the past tense. Try using some contracted forms from your grammar lesson this week. 
• Write in first person – use pronouns like I, my and me to show that the events happened to you. 
• Talk about how you were feeling or what you were thinking when this happened. 
• Remember to end with ‘From Neil Armstrong‘
