Hooking Your Reader

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Hook your class into inquiry-based, hands-on learning with a activity on narrative leads. Pupils research different types of hooks and decide which one to use in their own writing. Carefully scaffolded to include all learners, the activity is a great catch.
