- Resolve the tension created in a sustained first person narrative.
- Description
- In this final lesson in for That Eye, the Sky, we model a passage in which the narrator arrives at the aftermath of a car accident. We explore how an accumulation of detail, history, image and metaphor create an emotionally resonant conclusion. The lesson ends in a checkpoint piece, which could be a new piece of writing or a revision of the work created in the lesson.
