“The more I hook students’ interest about the learning I want them to engage in, the more I bridge the initial gap between them and the content they’re studying.
I engage students by creating lesson hooks that ask them to call upon their physical senses and their personal experiences; help them integrate the real world within their learning, and highlight the relevance of their lesson to their own lives.
The more I can hook students in these ways, the more engaged they become in their own learning.”
