- Choose the character and three distinct scenes before planning the diary entries.

Skills covered
- Structured note-taking while viewing - the opening page fixes what to record from the film, from its director and release year to two ten-item lists filled in as it plays.

- Sustained writing across several entries - three diary entries covering three different scenes require organisation across a whole piece, not a single paragraph.
