HOOKS-Leads



2nd GRADE HOOKS
I start working with students on"HOOKS" in 2nd grade. When I start teaching HOOKS, I tell students that it's just like catching a fish. You dangle some nice bait in-front of the fish and if they like it, BOOM! Gotcha hooked. If not they turn away uninterested. It's the same way with writing. This is how I start. First,  I read students a well known book and then have them practice writing different beginnings for the same story. This is the first thing we do in my writing class. Students can write their hooks in the squares that are provided on blackline. We practice for 2 weeks before moving on to finishing our introduction.  FREE links below

    Hi Heidi,
    I just found your blog and am enjoying reading it. My school is very weak in teaching writing. I am currently a 3rd grade teacher and when I get students from second grade... I shutter... they cannot write a full paragraph. I begin the year by just introducing topic sentence and details. It is crazy I know... I am far behind in the 3rd grade writing curriuclum and am going nuts... noone wants to admit we have a problem. So we were just delivered "the HAMBURGER" in our mailboxes... yes, you guessed it... no instruction on how to use it. Well, I have been using Green, yellow, Red (Step up to Writing) for about 10 years now (I think)and it molds nicely into the HAMBURGER format. UGH... I could go on and on... So, I am glad a came across your blog. My email to use is kelly.simbari@rcsdk12.org. THXS!!!

      I always start with HOOKS when I teach kids to use the "Hamburger" We practice for 2 weeks. Then we start working on the details of the introduction and the thesis statement. As I go we work our way down the hamburger. The next three parts of the hamburger each have---topic sentence and details. Lastly, we work on the conclusion and then kids start writing "real" stories and put the hamburger together on their own.

    I think your blackline masters for "hooking" the readers when you write is great! I would love to have the blackline masters for grades 2-4.

    Thank you!
