What educators are saying
This resource was well worth the money. I especially liked the ease of application resources that were well worth the money. Thank you!
This is a great resource to use when teaching how to write hooks or a thesis statement. Used this resource before our state writing assessment to help students understand how to write each one.
Description
Many students have difficulty writing introductions that don't just "announce" their topic: "I am going to tell you about...", or "My topic is ...".
These lessons provide a resource for students to use that offers eight different ideas to "hook" their reader's attention. In addition, students are provided with a guide for understanding the difference between a topic idea and a focused thesis sentence. Also included is a student activity sheet to practice writing effective introductions.
(These guidelines can also be used to write effective introductions for formal speeches.)
Included:
-Teacher's Guide
-Student Reference Guide "The Hook"
-Student Reference Guide "The Thesis"
-Student Practice Activity
A PowerPoint slideshow with the "Hook" guidelines is also available separately: "Writing Introductions: The Hook" PowerPoint
