HOOKS OR HOW TO GET A READER ’ S ATTENTION

Good writing starts with a good Hook. Whether it is a Narrative, a Response to Literature, or a Research Paper, there is no excuse to bore your reader! Besides, if you can’t prove to your reader that you can write an interesting hook, why would they want to read on?

WHAT PAPERS USE THEM? EVERY GENRE OF PAPER NEEDS A HOOK OF SOME KIND. IT’S JUST UP TO YOU TO CHOOSE THE ONE THAT IS MOST APPROPRIATE. THIS IS BASED ON THE INTENT OF THE ESSAY AND THE AUDIENCE. YOU NEED A HOOK FOR: NARRATIVES PERSUASIVE ESSAYS LITERARY RESPONSE EXECUTIVE SUMMARIES

Examples from books: “ ‘ The king is dead. ’ Those four words, cold as marble and sharp as flint, were uttered by the thin, cruel lips of Edward Seymour, the king ’ s privy counselor and my brother ’ s uncle. In this way I learned of my father ’ s death. ” Beware, Princess Elizabeth by Carolyn Meyer

POSSIBLE HOOKS: Fact/Statistic Nearly 1/3 of the population of Europe was killed by the plague. Tone/Mood The bodies piled up in the streets of London, untouched, uncared for, mourned by the frightened masses that were left behind wondering when it was going to be their turn to die. Simile/Metaphor The Black Death swept across the land like a broom brushing away people as it would dirt. In the Middle of the Action The trebuchet cranked back slowly, then released suddenly, launching the stone up and over the walls of the city.

POSSIBLE HOOKS: Definition The Black Death was an unstoppable disease caused by the fleas carried by the rats that co- habitated with the people of Medieval Europe. Dialogue “ I see there ’ s been no improvement, ” the apothecary sadly admitted, looking at the small girl trembling and sweating with fever before him. Onomatopoeia Sssssss. Sizzle. The fever burned through the victim ’ s body.

POSSIBLE HOOKS: Staccato three word lead Rats. Sewers. Filth. London was not a city of great cleanliness. Lyrics “ Ring around the rosie. Pockets full of posies. Ashes, ashes, we all fall down! ” Theme Some people believed that the Plague was sent to punish the evil on Earth, but they would soon learn that the disease knew no such ethics. It did not distinguish its victims.

ASSIGNMENT Take out your graphic organizer. Choose one way to intro. Pass to a partner and have him/her revise your hook. Pass to one more parter, and have that person add 1 more revision. Review your hook. Do you like it? Is it interesting? Use it!!!!
