6 Hooks & Leads in Persuasive Writing
In persuasive writing, a writer takes a position FOR or AGAINST an issue and writes to convince the reader to believe or do something. What is a lead-in? The introduction should have a HOOK - that certain something that grabs or catches the reader’s attention. Here are a few examples:

7 Hooks & Leads in Persuasive Writing
Open with an unusual detail or statistic, startling or striking fact from an authoritative source – Thirteen teachers, two students and one police officer killed in a Munich, Germany high school; Thirteen students killed and dozens wounded in Littleton, Colorado at Columbine High School…

8 Hooks & Leads in Persuasive Writing
Open with a strong statement – Example: Cigarettes are the number one cause of lighter sales in Canada!

9 Hooks & Leads in Persuasive Writing
Open with a quotation – Elbert Hubbard once said, “Truth is stronger than fiction.”

10 Hooks & Leads in Persuasive Writing
Open with an engaging question – Have you ever considered how many books we’d read if it weren’t for television?

11 Hooks & Leads in Persuasive Writing
