Diary of a Wimpy Kid Text Evidence

Provide students with a question or prompt to answer with a storyboard using textual evidence. The example prompt is, "What complications does Greg experience with his friend Rowley?"

Possible answers to the prompt include:

• “Rowley ended up getting grounded for that whole haunted house mess yesterday. He’s not allowed to watch TV for a week, AND he’s not allowed to have me over at his house during that time.”


• “But I guess he had his heart set on rolling that snowball down the hill, and he was really mad. But get this: Rowley was mad at ME for what DAD did.”


• “Well, me and Rowley have officially been ex-friends for about a month now, and to be honest with you, I’m better off without him.”

Other prompts include:

• Why does the author include drawings throughout the text?
• Why is it ironic that Greg would be the one to have the Cheese Touch?
