 LO: To explore the differences between diaries and journals

Is there a difference between a diary and a

journal?
Many people think a diary is the same thing as a journal. However,
there is a difference between the two.
• A diary is a book to record events as they happen.
• A journal is a book used to explore ideas that take shape.

JOURNAL: More focus on the external, objective and factual.

DIARY: More emotional, exploring thoughts and feelings of a
character.
