Hooking us in...

We are learning to write a hook to engage our reader.

Room 20 have been exploring effective hooks. Together we shared what we knew and discussed what we might see in really effective hooks.  We levelled some before we had a go ourselves.


Would you keep reading if this was the hook the writing started with?

Suddenly, Broom, Broom!  What's that? Oh, it's just a motorbike, off I go. 'Weeee' I said in my mind.

We decided that Thomas has written an effective hook.
