My friend (almost since birth) and I were discussing HS teachers recently.  The ONE that we focused on was one we both hated in HS.  Mrs. Heimbigner taught us the Queen's language.  She took no prisoners.  March or die.

50 years later, we both admire the teaching we got from her.  My friend has been a HS teacher off and on (supporting herself while getting two PHDs) and she says having done so gave her a serious appreciation of Mrs. H.  

Her essay assignments were much more about the function of the language than what you wrote about.  Passion and interest were allowed if not encouraged so long as you NEVER dangled a participle.
