This week's Hook of the Week from Teach Like a PIRATE by Dave Burgess is The People Prop Hook
The People Prop Hook
Let's get the students involved--literally and physically!
Consider these questions when planning for this hook...
- How can you make your lesson "play big" by using students as props, inanimate objects, or concepts?
- Can we create a human graph, chart, map, or equation?
- Can students be assigned a specific step in a process or an event and then have to order themselves sequentially?
- Can some students be props and the rest of the class "prop movers?"
In what ways might you use The People Prop Hook to engage your students or adult learners?
