Lesson overview:Descriptive detail: Close analysis
- In this lesson, we will start with a quick quiz. We'll then be looking at a further extract from our text of the week, Cold Mountain. Today, we are going to examine how Frazier builds descriptive detail by analysing a new passage and also making use of our prior learning. In particular, we will remind ourselves of how to select 'rich' evidence and build an analytical response.
