This week's Hook of the Week from Teach Like a PIRATE by Dave Burgess is The Real-World Application Hook.

How can I show my students why learning this content is important in the "real" world?

Consider these questions when planning for this hook...

• How will they possibly apply this in their life?
• Can we increase motivation and engagement by offering reasons to learn that go beyond "because it's on the test?"
• Can they create something "real" that will be more than a classroom project but actually allow them to interact with the world in an authentic way?
