Lesson details
Lesson outcome
I can write an engaging descriptive opening paragraph using an omniscient perspective and extended metaphor.
Show transcript
Using an omniscient perspective allows the reader to be more immersed in a scene description.
An unusual choice of narrative perspective can make your omniscient perspective more engaging.
An extended metaphor is an opportunity to add detail and depth to writing.
An extended metaphor is most effective, when explored in multiple layers, e.g. using comparison and personification.
