9. The hook
“a short introductory moment that captures what's interesting and engaging about the material and puts it out front.”
Lemov, Doug. Teach Like A Champion. Hoboken, NJ: Jossey-Bass/Wiley, 2010.
Lemov points out, that the hook is the introduction and not the lesson. Most importantly, it engages the students almost immediately. The hook yields. In another words, once the momentum of the hook is under way, it gives way to the more teaching part of the lesson.
The hook is energetic and optimistic. Lemov explains that it focuses on what is great about a subject and not what is hard or difficult, unless a particular difficulty is what makes a subject great.
