Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can write a vivid description inspired by Ian Beck's 'Propping Up The Line' which captures some of Alfred’s experiences and memories of the front line.

Show transcript
Many writers use vivid description to convey the horrors of the front line. Beck shows the depth of Alfred’s trauma when the noise and sight of washing transports him back to the front line. A vivid description is the result of careful planning and close attention to methods.
