The Hook

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

A fishing hook inspires this presentation about different methods for starting a composition. Have class members take notes or edit current drafts while viewing the slide show. The animation is entertaining, but gets repetitive by the end. You might want to shorten the presentation, since it is made up of 24 slides.
