Effectively Teach an Introduction Paragraph with Creative Hook

Help students develop a more powerful essay with a creative and meaningful hook that grabs the reader's attention. This packet provides my explanations along with two pages of notes to handout to students in which they are guided through my examples of 3 powerful types of creative hooks. I demonstrate how to go from hook, to transition sentence, to thesis very clearly and effectively. I doubt you will find a clearer presentation for your students. This lesson has worked so well for all my students across various student populations from struggling writers to gifted students. I know it will work well for your students.

In transparency, for a little less you can purchase just the resource without the video in my store.

This is a Chapter from my book "Basic Sentences to Essays: A Quick & Easy Step-By-Step Guide to Teach Students to Write Well" which is here in my Teachers Pay Teachers store. It is an exceptional resource compiling my clear, unique, and effective practices at helping students, even at the lowest levels of writing, quickly learn to write at proficient and advanced levels. I recommend taking a look at this resource. I have worked with many ELLs and students below grade level, even those at higher grade levels who were really behind. My strategies and methods caught these students up swiftly, and I have had outstanding state test results at under-performing schools.

Copyright: You may show or copy any of my resources for your STUDENTS only, but please DO NOT share my video practices or copies with those who have not purchased them. I have worked very hard to develop these unique strategies that will save teachers a lot of time and effort and greatly benefit your students, plus the profits I make from TPT are helping me start my own school for under-served students in Los Angeles: Generations Legacy.
