Starting to think of the story for my Multimodal Text

When thinking of an idea for my multimodal text, I've decided to base my idea from a book I read when I was in primary school. The book illustrated a girl's day at school, I remember enjoying the girls description of her events. That is why I've decided to have my multimodal text set as a diary. 
I had my first day of placement today which meant that I could look at examples of texts in the classroom. 

  

In the book corner, they had novels by Roald Dahl, Jacqueline Wilson, the Horrid Henry novels, Doctor Who books also the Alex Rider novels by Anthony Horowitz. I believe my idea of a story will be similar to these novels as it follows one specific character and what happens to them. 

As my multimodal text is set as a diary, I thought I should look at the children's work in the classroom, how they drew but particularly how they drew people because in my text there will be interactions between the main character and his/her classmates.
  

 

I also looked into the children's books which they brought from home to see the illustrations which were similar to what I picture to be in my text.


When looking in the book corner, I picked up a Horrid Henry book because it is a character and book that is very popular. Henry's mischievous actions makes these books enjoyable for the children to read so that is why my character will get up to naughty mishaps in my multimedia text. But to show really how mischievous she/he is, I will also include a true version of what happened in the day, which may be shown through the eyes of a parent.
