Nobody wants their readers to jump out of the boat before they finish the first sentence. It's way more fun to grab their attention and interest with the perfect Turn-of-Phrase, Unexpected Joke, or Totally Shocking Statement. Get your fishin' gear together, and let's learn to catch your readers' attention with EIGHT DIFFERENT TYPES OF HOOKS for your Expository and Informational writing! In this class: * We'll learn about Eight Different Types of Hooks and what topics and types of writing they will most compliment and strengthen. * We'll look at Sample Paragraphs, and see the difference Hooks make when added to them. * We'll check out some More Sample Paragraphs and Prompts, and students will determine what types of hooks would best suit them. * Students will Practice Creating Irresistible Hooks based upon those Sample Paragraphs and Prompts. * Students will get the chance to Share, Discuss, and Laugh their way to Catching Their Readers' Attention and Keeping It! Students should be fully comfortable with writing complete sentences in order for this class to be beneficial. Remember, we are all expanding our knowledge together (including the teacher). I'm looking forward to learning with you! Mrs. Rae Marie (M.Ed.) (Writing, Poetry, Fantasy Fiction, ACE Educator)

I absolutely love to write and share the joy of writing, and I've taught writing for several years. I understand that writing isn't everyone's cup of tea, so I am beyond happy to share some ways to bring your words to the surface. Oftentimes, it's just a matter of sorting out what's happening in your brain and getting it to come out in the right order. I'm here for you!Reviews
