"Cause all you people are vampires and all your stories are stale..."

Last Thursday's lesson saw the end of out lessons on Dracula. So, as a neat way of rounding it off we looked at some essay questions on Dracula, focussing mainly on essay introductions and how to make them awesome!
We each had a go at writing our own essay introductions and then looked at each others to pick up on what we could do to improve our own.
We decided on the key point that aid the writing of a perfect essay introduction, these are as follows...

• To refer to the title of the essay in the introduction
• To focus the introduction and set the scene for what will be included in the essay (don't be too general!)
• Use the phrase 'In this essay I will...'
• Use the word however where possible
