Chapter Book #14

Title: Diary of  Wimpy Kid

Author: Jeff Kinney
Genre: Fiction
Sub genre: Chapter book
Theme: Bullying, friendship
Characters: Greg Heffley
Publication Date: 2007
Publishing Company: Amulet Books
 
Summary: A student Gregg Heffley writes a diary of events that happen to him during middle school. This book is very popular among middle school and elementary school readers. It even has illustrations to keep readers interested. Gregg's friend is becoming popular, and he thinks that he can hang out with them. The friendship is interesting that's for sure.
 
I would use this book to show students how illustrations can go with your writing. I would have students write a story about their school experiences and draw illustrations for every page of writing. The books would then be bound together as a class diary and read to the class as a story.
