This week's Hook of the Week from Teach Like a PIRATE by Dave Burgess is The Safari Hook.
How can I get outside my four walls for this lesson?
Consider these questions when planning for this hook...
- Where would be the best place(s) on campus to deliver this content?
- Is there an area of the school that serves as the perfect backdrop?
- Can I plant key items outside for us to "discover"?
- Can we leave campus to go to the ultimate location to teach this material?
Here's the bottom line: Taking your class beyond the classroom walls is a shortcut to engagement because it is so novel. You have freedom to do all sorts of activities outside the confines of your classroom, so get outside!
