Others Teachers Lyn was very well received by both students and staff. She captivated her audiences with a slide show and northern artifacts. Her content was extremely relevant to the Social Studies curriculum. She's a wonderful and vibrant presenter! Paul Grey, Ladysmith Intermediate School, Ladysmith, BC. Without doubt, Ms. Hancock is one of the most fascinating and dynamic authors we have had the privilege of meeting. Being a former teacher, she very early established a rapport with the children and sustained interest at a high peak throughout her presentation … She is an extraordinary person. Bill Porter, The Board of Education for the City of North York, Ontario. I have taught for 30 years and by far this is the most stimulating presentation I have attended. The combination of the slide presentation, your reading of excerpts from your book Tabasco the Saucy Raccoon, as well as your many personal anecdotes made this book come alive. By talking about the steps you follow to write a book, plus the details about your illustrator, the students gained a greater understanding of the tremendous amount of work involved. Wonderful. I felt I HAD to read your books. Lynda Scott, Bridlewood School, Ottawa, Ontario The presentation you gave to our students was most enchanting and dynamic. It kept our ordinary short-attention-span-students spellbound for the entire hour. That is quite an accomplishment, believe me. You are an inspiration. Shirley Coffin, St. Joseph's/A.McKay School, Halifax, Nova Scotia. Mrs. Hancock held the attention of one hundred and ten students age six to twelve for a full ninety minutes …an incredible feat in itself. She explained her personal philosophy of writing novels and vividly recounted the memories and details that went into creating many of her books … a unique experience that will motivate students AND teachers alike for many years to come. Steven Van Diest, Pipestone School, Millet, Alberta. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm and your wisdom. Just what our students needed. Sacred Heart School, Sioux Lookout, Ontario Thank you for your wonderful presentation … Your remarkable life experiences captivated our student population and inspired them both as global citizens, learners and writers …My students immensely enjoyed their time with you. Tabasco the Saucy Raccoon has become a classroom favourite. Many children have purchased it and are sharing it with their friends. Alex de Medeiros, Gordon Head Middle School, Victoria, BC The story of Tabasco the Saucy Raccoon ignited a passion for writing amongst our students. I enjoyed seeing the students' excitement for writing build as you told your story of living and travelling with a raccoon. Lyn, the passion you have for writing was infectious. Your animated personality and love for wildlife captured the students' interests and got them thinking of stories they could share. Your background as a teacher is evident as you helped them build on their ideas to create amazing 'hooks' for their stories.
