    By Jeff Kinney Teaching guide Encourage self-expression, inspire student writing, spark critical thinking, explore writing in nontraditional formats, and much more. based on the first book in the #1 bestselling diary of a wimpy kid series by jeff kinney Includes: • Assessments • Teaching rationale • Student reproducible • Discussion questions • Writing prompts • Correlation to national and state standards Aligned with the Common Core State Standards and the NCTE/IRA English Language Arts Standards. DIARY OF A WIMPY KID®, WIMPY KID™, and the Greg Heffley design™ are trademarks of Wimpy Kid, Inc. All rights reserved. 1 About the Book This book is a journal—NOT a diary—belonging to Greg Heffley, a middle school student struggling to navigate among the morons, girls, and gorillas that fill his school. Greg figures he’s around the 52nd or 53rd most popular kid this year and soon to move up in the ranks. Though this middle school weakling works hard to figure out the angle that will always make things come out best for him, Greg’s schemes to gain popularity and status rarely seem to pay off. Especially when it comes to dealings with his best friend Rowley, who has Greg to thank for a broken hand and getting blamed for terrorizing a group of kindergartners. Throughout his journal, Greg shares all the misadventures of his middle school experience and his family life. From wrestling in gym with a weird classmate who shouts “Juice!” when he has to go to the bathroom to being chased by teenagers on Halloween (and losing all his candy when his father douses him with a trash can full of water) to the daily emptying of his little brother’s plastic potty, Greg acerbically chronicles his year, from the first awkward day of school to the last.
