•A small portion of a lesson given at the very beginning to get students' attention,
activate prior knowledge, and prepare them for the day's learning.
•A good lesson plan should include a hook that motivates students to maintain
interest throughout the class period.
•Well thought out hooks can bridge interest in the lesson and personal student
interest so that lessons may become more meaningful and enduring.
•A good hook should be short, ranging from 10 seconds to 3 minutes
•Also referred as “anticipatory set”…get student anticipating عقوت..get it?
