Hooks With Sounds and Voices<br />

Objective: Students will implement a good beginning, or hook, in their writing pieces,<br />

understanding that an effective hook will draw their reader in and leave them wanting to read<br />

more.<br />

Anticipatory Set: The teacher will read several mentor text beginnings.<br />

Modeling: The teacher will demonstrate two examples of an effective hook: onomatopoeia or a<br />

quote.<br />

Wah-BAM! Mom slammed the door as she entered the house and saw the mess.<br />

“WHAT IN THE WORLD HAPPENED HERE?” Mom shouted when she entered the house and<br />

saw the mess.<br />

Beep-beep-beep! My alarm was blaring before the sun was even up. It was going to be an<br />

adventurous day.<br />

“Wake up, sleepy head!” my grandma called from my doorway before the sun was even up. It<br />

was going to be an adventurous day.<br />

Guided Practice: The teacher will put several prompts on the board or projector. Based on the<br />

prompt, brainstorm several effective hooks for each prompt- one onomatopoeia and one quote.<br />

Independent Practice: Have students select one story from their writing folder. Have them<br />

write two new beginnings, one using onomatopoeia and one using a quote.<br />

Publishing/Sharing: Students share their new hooks, reading the original and then reading the<br />

revised beginning with the new hook.<br />
