Essay Prep and Practise

Students were asked to take out 'Here There Be Tygers'.Students had to write notes about the topic 'The Dash' and how to use it and why. Mr Hanlon also said that story used a lot of parentheses and explained to them what a parentheses really was and how it was used.

He then handed the students a worksheet about A.C.E.S  and the students were asked to fill in the answers. He also got the students to write the notes down about how to use hyphens correctly that he put on the projector.

After that, Mr Hanlon wrote a paragraph and got his students to copy it down in their books. The purpose of this was to show his students what a good paragraph should look like. The students were then asked to highlight transition words from the paragraph he wrote.

The students were then given 'The Tyger' poem by William Blake and were asked to read it. They then discussed as to what they thought of the story and what it was really about.

You DO NOT start a sentence with a quotation. Ever.
